Rectifying jet breakup by electric forcing

open access: yesDroplet, 2023
The high‐throughput production of monodisperse droplets is paramount in most of the applications in droplet microfluidics. In a flow‐focusing junction, a straightforward way to increase droplet production rate is to increase the flow rates. However, at a

Experience With Performing Rheocarna Therapy via the Single‐Needle Method for Treatment of Chronic Limb‐Threatening Ischemia

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction This study investigated the safety and efficacy of single‐needle Rheocarna therapy for chronic limb‐threatening ischemia (CLTI) with wounds. Methods Six patients with CLTI involving ulcers unresponsive to revascularization underwent single‐needle Rheocarna treatment.

One‐step fabrication of moon‐shaped microrobots through in situ solidification of magnetic Janus droplets in microchannels

open access: yesDroplet, 2023
Special‐shaped microscale structures have shed light on new possibilities in key fields of chemistry, medicine, and energy. Asymmetrical microrobots with sensitive magnetic responses can be useful tools in controlled chemical reactions, drug delivery ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Hydrodynamic metamaterials: Principles, experiments, and applications

open access: yesDroplet, 2023
Hydrodynamic metamaterials, a nascent research field, possess immense potential for fluid flow manipulation. With engineered structure design, they offer unparalleled control over fluid behavior beyond the capabilities of conventional methods.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Jumping droplets

open access: yesDroplet
When microdroplets with quasi‐spherical contact angles coalesce together on a low‐adhesion substrate, the capillary‐inertial expansion of the liquid bridge induces a dramatic out‐of‐plane jumping event due to symmetry breaking. From the onset of merging,

Antitangling and manufacturable Fog Harps for high‐efficiency water harvesting

open access: yesDroplet, 2023
Fog Harps harvest substantially more water than conventional mesh‐based harvesters. However, to date, all large‐scale Fog Harps have been impractically hand‐wound at low wire tensions and suffer from elastocapillary wire tangling.

Decoding the dynamic extracellular matrix in cancer—3D models and bioscaffolds rewire the rules of tumor progression

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer progression is regulated by the dynamic matrix code of the tumor microenvironment, which influences cellular behavior and disease development. Importantly, matrix remodeling in three‐dimensional cancer models more accurately reflects in vivo conditions compared to conventional two‐dimensional systems.

Droplet collision of hypergolic propellants

open access: yesDroplet
In the present mini‐review, droplet impacting on a liquid pool, jet impingement, and binary droplet collision of nonreacting liquids are first summarized in terms of basic phenomena and the corresponding nondimensional parameters.
