Cell Encapsulation in Sub-mm Sized Gel Modules Using Replica Molding
(Public Library of Science, 2008)For many types of cells, behavior in two-dimensional (2D) culture differs from that in three-dimensional (3D) culture. Among biologists, 2D culture on treated plastic surfaces is currently the most popular method for cell ... -
InfoBiology by printed arrays of microorganism colonies for timed and on-demand release of messages
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011)This paper presents a proof-of-principle method, called InfoBiology, to write and encode data using arrays of genetically engineered strains of Escherichia coli with fluorescent proteins (FPs) as phenotypic markers. In ... -
Nanowire nanoelectronics: Building interfaces with tissue and cells at the natural scale of biology
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2013)The interface between nanoscale electronic devices and biological systems enables interactions at length scales natural to biology, and thus should maximize communication between these two diverse yet complementary systems. ... -
Reversible Disassembly of the Actin Cytoskeleton Improves the Survival Rate and Developmental Competence of Cryopreserved Mouse Oocytes
(Public Library of Science, 2008)Effective cryopreservation of oocytes is critically needed in many areas of human reproductive medicine and basic science, such as stem cell research. Currently, oocyte cryopreservation has a low success rate. The goal of ... -
Statistical Dynamics of Flowing Red Blood Cells by Morphological Image Processing
(Public Library of Science, 2009)Blood is a dense suspension of soft non-Brownian cells of unique importance. Physiological blood flow involves complex interactions of blood cells with each other and with the environment due to the combined effects of ...
