Microfluidic guillotine for single-cell wound repair studies.
Wound repair is a key feature distinguishing living from nonliving matter. Single cells are increasingly recognized to be capable of healing wounds. The lack of reproducible, high-throughput wounding methods has hindered single-cell wound repair studies. This work describes a microfluidic guillotine for bisecting single Stentor coeruleus cells in a continuous-flow manner. Stentor is used as a m...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Device for Single Cell Studies of Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal Cord Injury is damage to the spinal cord due to physical trauma. Study of spinal cord injury has hardly been achieved at the single cell level. Polymer microfluidics devices may provide a unique in vitro platform for studying single neuronal responses to mechanical forces. For example, one device developed in our lab, called microchannel device, is made from poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS...
متن کاملLipid domain–dependent regulation of single-cell wound repair
After damage, cells reseal their plasma membrane and repair the underlying cortical cytoskeleton. Although many different proteins have been implicated in cell repair, the potential role of specific lipids has not been explored. Here we report that cell damage elicits rapid formation of spatially organized lipid domains around the damage site, with different lipids concentrated in different dom...
متن کاملWound repair: toward understanding and integration of single-cell and multicellular wound responses.
The importance of wound healing to medicine and biology has long been evident, and consequently, wound healing has been the subject of intense investigation for many years. However, several relatively recent developments have added new impetus to wound repair research: the increasing application of model systems; the growing recognition that single cells have a robust, complex, and medically re...
متن کاملMicrofluidic device for single-cell analysis.
We have developed a novel microfluidic device constructed from poly(dimethylsiloxane) using multilayer soft lithography technology for the analysis of single cells. The microfluidic network enables the passive and gentle separation of a single cell from the bulk cell suspension, and integrated valves and pumps enable the precise delivery of nanoliter volumes of reagents to that cell. Various ap...
