Acoustic and Magnetic Techniques for the Isolation and Analysis of Cells in Microfluidic Platforms
(2016)Cancer comprises a collection of diseases, all of which begin with abnormal tissue growth from various stimuli, including (but not limited to): heredity, genetic mutation, exposure to harmful substances, radiation as well ... -
Acoustics-induced Fluid Motions
(2021)Acoustic waves, as a form of mechanical vibration, not only induces the force directly on the object, but also induces the motion of the medium that propagates throughout the system. The study of acoustofluidic mainly focuses ... -
Digital Acoustofluidics Based Contactless and Programmable Liquid Handling
(2020)Handling of fluids is essential for a majority of applications involving liquid phase reactions in chemistry, biology, and biomedicine. In contrast to manual pipetting in conventional small workshops, automated liquid handling ... -
Digital Microfluidics for the Detection of Inorganic Ions in Aerosols
(2018)The quantitative measurement of inorganic ions in the atmosphere is an important aspect in environmental science. The three most important inorganic ions are sulfate, nitrate and ammonium, which are the most abundant components ... -
Elucidation of the Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Estrogen-Mediated Estrogen Receptor Activation
(2017)Every cell in our body contains the same genetic material, but what differentiates one cell type from another is the way in which that material is interpreted. Hidden in the 98% of non-coding DNA sequences, once referred ... -
Enabling Technologies for Synthetic Biology: Gene Synthesis and Error-Correction from a Microarray-Microfluidic Integrated Device
(2011)Promising applications in the design of various biological systems hold critical implications as heralded in the rising field of synthetic biology. But, to achieve these goals, the ability to synthesize in situ DNA constructs ... -
Enhanced In Vivo Delivery of Stem Cells using Microporous Annealed Particle Scaffolds.
(Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany), 2019-09)Delivery to the proper tissue compartment is a major obstacle hampering the potential of cellular therapeutics for medical conditions. Delivery of cells within biomaterials may improve localization, but traditional and newer ... -
Evaluation of a digital microfluidic real-time PCR platform to detect DNA of Candida albicans in blood.
(Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis, 2012-09)Species of Candida frequently cause life-threatening infections in neonates, transplant and intensive care unit (ICU) patients, and others with compromised host defenses. The successful management of systemic candidiasis ... -
Exploiting the Interplay of Acoustic Waves and Fluid Motion for Particle Manipulation
(2021)Acoustofluidics is an emerging research field that combines both acoustics and fluid dynamics. With acoustic tweezers technique being developed for years, it is featured for its contactless, noninvasive, and biocompatibility ... -
Magnetomicrofluidics Circuits for Organizing Bioparticle Arrays
(2017)Single-cell analysis (SCA) tools have important applications in the analysis of phenotypic heterogeneity, which is difficult or impossible to analyze in bulk cell culture or patient samples. SCA tools thus have a myriad ... -
Microfluidic platform versus conventional real-time polymerase chain reaction for the detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in respiratory specimens.
(Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis, 2010-05)Rapid, accurate diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae is compromised by low sensitivity of culture and serology. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has emerged as a sensitive method to ... -
Microfluidic-generated Double Emulsions for Cell Study, Drug Delivery and Particle Therapeutics Fabrication
(2015)Droplet microfluidics is a powerful platform for both fundamental and applied biomedical research. The droplets are small in size with a diameter of 1-300 um. Thus, they could function as a miniaturized environment ... -
Modeling and Design of Assured and Adaptive Cyber-Physical Systems
(2022)Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) feature synergetic integration of multiple subsystems to control physical environments through cycles of sensing and actuation. The correct-by-design paradigm aims to provide guarantees on the ... -
Peptide-Based Stimuli-Responsive Materials for Bioanalytical Applications
(2017)Surfaces with switchable properties in response to external stimuli (e.g., temperature and pH) have attracted substantial research interest because of their ability to modulate biomolecule activity, protein immobilization, ... -
Security and Synthesis Solutions for Digital Microfluidic Biochips
(2021)Considerable effort has been devoted in recent years to the design and implementation of digital microfluidic biochips (DMFBs) for biochemical analysis procedures, such as high-throughput DNA sequencing and point-of-care ... -
Simultaneous two-wavelength transmission quantitative phase microscopy with a color camera.
(Opt Lett, 2010-08-01)We present a quantitative phase microscopy method that uses a Bayer mosaic color camera to simultaneously acquire off-axis interferograms in transmission mode at two distinct wavelengths. Wrapped phase information is processed ... -
Single-Cell Analysis Reveals Distinct Gene Expression and Heterogeneity in Male and Female Plasmodium falciparum Gametocytes.
(mSphere, 2018-04-11)Sexual reproduction is an obligate step in the Plasmodium falciparum life cycle, with mature gametocytes being the only form of the parasite capable of human-to-mosquito transmission. Development of male and female gametocytes ...
