Femtosecond laser-fabricated silicon micropore arrays modified with Ga2O3 nanowires for rapid sperm separation from mixed stains and forensic DNA typing

陆军军医大学学报
Objective Mixed stains are the most critical biological evidence in sexual assault cases. However, due to the marked size difference and complex coexistence between spermatozoa (4-6 μm) and vaginal epithelial cells (40-60 μm), conventional differential

The PIP Peptide of INFLORESCENCE DEFICIENT IN ABSCISSION Enhances Populus Leaf and Elaeis guineensis Fruit Abscission

Plants, 2019
The programmed loss of a plant organ is called abscission, which is an important cell separation process that occurs with different organs throughout the life of a plant.

Control of Organ Abscission and Other Cell Separation Processes by Evolutionary Conserved Peptide Signaling

Plants, 2019
Plants both generate and shed organs throughout their lifetime. Cell separation is in function during opening of anthers to release pollen; floral organs are detached after pollination when they have served their purpose; unfertilized flowers are shed ...

A Novel Protocol for Culturing Polarized Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells from Kidney Biopsies: Enhancing Platforms for Drug Excretion and Nephrotoxicity Studies

Journal of Xenobiotics
The kidneys are integral to homeostasis but are susceptible to nephrotoxic compounds. Proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) mediate drug metabolism and transport and are widely used in preclinical studies.

OxyHbMeter—a novel bedside medical device for monitoring cell-free hemoglobin in the cerebrospinal fluid—proof of principle

Frontiers in Medical Technology
Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) occurs in up to one third of patients suffering from aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Untreated, it leads to secondary cerebral infarctions and is frequently associated with death or severe disability.

Characterization and Separation of Live and Dead Yeast Cells Using CMOS-Based DEP Microfluidics

Micromachines, 2021
This study aims at developing a miniaturized CMOS integrated silicon-based microfluidic system, compatible with a standard CMOS process, to enable the characterization, and separation of live and dead yeast cells (as model bio-particle organisms) in a ...

Development of a microfluidic setup for the isolation and imaging of immune cells

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering
Specialised cells in the blood play an important role in controlling the immune responses. Thus, these cells are also valuable for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as autoimmune disorders and cancer.

Modelling and prototyping of a microfluidic cartridge for extracting immune cells from small volume blood samples

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2020
Within the human blood immune cells assume specific functions to modulate and control the human immune response. Consequently, they are used for the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune and hematologic diseases.
