Microfluidic Sample Compartmentalization for Biomolecular Concentration Quantification Using a Nanopore Sensor

Small Methods, EarlyView.
We compartmentalize samples into picoliter volumes using a microfluidic device, allowing us to determine biomolecular concentration by counting molecules to depletion within a known volume without calibration. By integrating a nanopore sensor for this counting process, we also obtain real‐time data on the size, shape, and conformation of each ...

Improving ARTs: Microfluidics as a Tool for Sperm Selection

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sperm selection is a critical step in assisted reproductive technology (ART), as sperm quality directly influences embryo quality. In vivo, the female reproductive tract imposes several physical and physiological barriers that favors only the most optimal spermatozoa reaching the fertilization site.

Understanding extracellular vesicle biology, isolation, and characterization: The theory of EV‐erything

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, are nanoparticles increasingly recognized as key regulators of intercellular communication in both physiological and pathological aspects. Despite rapid progress, inconsistencies in nomenclature, isolation, and characterization continue to restrict translational advancement.

Optical Sorting of a Plasmonic Nanoparticle From a Three‐Particle Cluster Using a C‐Shaped Plasmonic Engraving

Advanced Photonics Research, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
A gold substrate with an HSQ‐filled C‐shaped engraving selectively pushes a plasmonic nanoparticle from a three‐particle cluster toward its center, leaving dielectric and chiral neighbors nearly unaffected. Validated against published results, a coupled electromagnetic‐thermal analysis confirms this optical force exceeds competing thermophoretic ...

Metalorganic Titanium Treatment to Change Enamel Optical Properties

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials, Volume 114, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Observational studies have shown that human teeth with higher concentrations of titanium traces have better optical properties. The aim of this study was to investigate how titanium ion infiltration into tooth enamel affects its optical properties by studying the diffusion and reactivity of titanium compounds in tooth enamel and how this ...
