On-chip inverted emulsion method for fast giant vesicle production, handling, and analysis
, 2020 Liposomes and giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) in particular are excellent compartments for constructing artificial cells. Traditionally, their use requires bench-top vesicle growth, followed by experimentation under a microscope.

Microfabricated Anisotropic Myobundles for the Scalable Production of Cardiac Tissue Grafts
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Controlling the anisotropy of cardiac tissue remains an outstanding challenge in the field of cardiac tissue engineering. Here, we introduce an approach to generate anisotropic cardiac myobundles using cell‐adhesive, synthetic, electrospun fibers and stem cell‐derived cardiac fibroblasts.

Microsphere formation using SIFEL microfluidic devices with organic-solvent resistance
Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2017 Biodegradable microspheres have been gathering attention as a promising controlled release drug delivery system (DDS), since they can administrate with one injection, dissolve in a body, release drugs over time, and do not need to remove after use.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We introduce a capillary‐filtering‐based particle‐filling (CFPF) process that simultaneously forms vertical thermal pathways and electrical vias within µ‐pores. In situ microfluidic analysis reveals that capillary‐driven velocity gradients generate vorticity that governs µ‐platelet rotation and vertical alignment.

Polydimethylsiloxane based microfluidic diode [PDF]
, 2005 In this paper, we present a novel elastomer-based microfluidic device for rectifying flow. The device is analogous to an electronic diode in function since it allows flow in one direction and stops flow in the opposing direction. The device is planar, in-

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.We describe a microfluidic tumor‐stroma co‐culture model, engineered to resist collagen‐hydrogel contraction driven by fibroblast activity. Surface silanization with APTES covalently anchors the matrix to the chip, while Genipin crosslinking progressively increases stiffness and elasticity without harming cells. This supports >10 days of co‐culture and

Metabolic Patterning on a Chip: Towards in vitro Liver Zonation of Primary Rat and Human Hepatocytes
, 2018 An important number of healthy and diseased tissues shows spatial variations in their metabolic capacities across the tissue. The liver is a prime example of such heterogeneity where the gradual changes in various metabolic activities across the liver ...
