"Living" Microvascular Stamp for Patterning of Functional Neovessels; Orchestrated Control of Matrix Property and Geomet...
Published in International Journal of Advanced Materials Manufacturing and Characterization
This study presents a “living” microvascular stamp that releases multiple angiogenic factors and subsequently creates functional neovessels with the same pattern as that engraved in the stamp. The stamp consists of live cells that secrete angiogenic factors, an engineered hydrogel matrix that promotes cellular expression of angiogenic factors, and ...
High-k dielectric Al2O3 nanowire and nanoplate field effect sensors for improved pH sensing
...Published in Biomedical Microdevices
Over the last decade, field-effect transistors (FETs) with nanoscale dimensions have emerged as possible label-free biological and chemical sensors capable of highly sensitive detection of various entities and processes. While significant progress has been made towards improving their sensitivity, much is yet to be explored in the study of various ...
How far cardiac cells can see each other mechanically
Published in Journal of Soft Matter
We ask the question whether cardiac cells, separated by a soft solid medium, can interact with one another mechanically, and if so, then how does the interaction depend on cell–cell separation, and the stiffness of the medium. First, we show that cardiac cells can be stimulated by a mechanical signal alone. We culture primary chicken embryonic card...
Surface Immobilizable Chelator for Label-free Electrical Detection of Pyrophosphate
Published in Chemical Communications
A new pyrophosphate (PPi) chelator was designed for surface-sensitive electrical detection of biomolecular reactions. This article describes the synthesis of the PPi-selective receptor, its surface immobilization and application to label-free electrical detection on a silicon-based field-effect transistor (FET) sensor.
