Nile red: a selective fluorescent stain for intracellular lipid droplets

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 1985
We report that the dye nile red, 9-diethylamino-5H- benzo[alpha]phenoxazine-5-one, is an excellent vital stain for the detection of intracellular lipid droplets by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytofluorometry.

The measurement of microbial air contamination index in the pulmonary ward, intensive care unit and pediatric intensive care unit at dr. Zainoel Abidin hospital, Aceh, Indonesia

open access: yesJurnal Natural
Nosocomial infections are one of the major problems in hospitals. Air is one source of nosocomial infections. Hospitals are filled with many patients, their families, and health workers daily.

APOE4/4 is linked to damaging lipid droplets in Alzheimer’s disease microglia

open access: yesNature
Several genetic risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease implicate genes involved in lipid metabolism and many of these lipid genes are highly expressed in glial cells1.

Droplets Sliding Down Partially Wetted (Non-Superhydrophobic) Surfaces: A Review

open access: yesLiquids
Droplets sliding down a partially wetted surface are a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature and everyday life. Despite its apparent simplicity, it hinders complex intricacies for theoretical and numerical descriptions matching the experimental observations ...

Lipid droplets and liver disease: from basic biology to clinical implications

open access: yesNature Reviews Gastroenterology &Hepatology, 2017
Lipid droplets are dynamic organelles that store neutral lipids during times of energy excess and serve as an energy reservoir during deprivation. Many prevalent metabolic diseases, such as the metabolic syndrome or obesity, often result in abnormal ...

Active coacervate droplets as a model for membraneless organelles and protocells

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Membraneless organelles like stress granules are active liquid-liquid phase-separated droplets that are involved in many intracellular processes. Their active and dynamic behavior is often regulated by ATP-dependent reactions.

Hydrodynamic structures of droplets in square micro-channels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This paper reports on numerical simulations of the hydrodynamics inside droplets in rectangular micro-channels. We use a finite-volume/front-capturing method that allows us to perform two- and three-dimensional simulations with a reasonable cost.

Improvement of the accuracy of PIV measurement of flow field in a levitated droplet

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal
The use of levitated droplets with electrostatic and ultrasonic fields has attracted much attention in the fields of materials development, chemical engineering, droplet-based microfluidics, inkjet printing, and aerospace engineering.

Role and Effect of Meso-Structuring Surfactants on Properties and Formation Mechanism of Microfluidic-Enabled Mesoporous Silica Microspheres

open access: yesMicromachines, 2023
We have shown in a previous work that the combination of the emulsion solvent evaporation technique and droplet-based microfluidics allows for the synthesis of well-defined monodisperse mesoporous silica microcapsules (hollow microspheres), whose size ...
