Flexible Octopus-Shaped Hydrogel Particles for Specific Cell Capture.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiarm hydrogel microparticles with varying geometry are fabricated to specifically capture cells expressing epithelial cell adhesion molecule. Results show that particle shape influences cell-capture efficiency due to differences in surface area, hydrodynamic effects, and steric constraints. These findings can lead to improved particle design for cell separation and diagnostic applications.

We report new methods for the synthesis and efficient manipulation of magnetic hydrogel microparticles. Through the development of a high-pH rinsing scheme, we achieve a simple and flexible synthesis strategy for the generation of geometrically and chemically complex magnetic microgels, eliminating the need for perfusion streams and other features that limit production rates and particle comple...
متن کاملOctopus-Inspired Smart Adhesive Pads for Transfer Printing of Semiconducting Nanomembranes.
By mimicking muscle actuation to control cavity-pressure-induced adhesion of octopus suckers, smart adhesive pads are developed in which the thermoresponsive actuation of a hydrogel layer on elastomeric microcavity pads enables excellent switchable adhesion in response to a thermal stimulus (maximum adhesive strength: 94 kPa, adhesion switching ratio: ≈293 for temperature change between 22 and ...
متن کاملEthnoecological knowledge of the artisan fishermen of octopi (Octopus spp.) in the community of Coroa Vermelha (Santa Cruz Cabrália, Bahia)
Coral reefs are quite diverse ecosystems that carry out several ecological functions and plays a relevant socioeconomic role. The artisan fishing of octopi (Octopus spp.) is practiced for the survival of part of the inhabitants of Coroa Vermelha community, in the south of the state of Bahia. We intended to study the knowledge of the octopi fishermen of Coroa Vermelha using the comprehensive eth...
متن کاملHigh-throughput flow alignment of barcoded hydrogel microparticles.
Suspension (particle-based) arrays offer several advantages over conventional planar arrays in the detection and quantification of biomolecules, including the use of smaller sample volumes, more favorable probe-target binding kinetics, and rapid probe-set modification. We present a microfluidic system for the rapid alignment of multifunctional hydrogel microparticles designed to bear one or sev...
