In situ continuous monitoring of bacterial biofilms is a challenging job so far, it fundamental to the screening novel anti-biofilm reagents. this work, microfluidic system utilizing...

Stimulating neuron cells with light is an exciting new technology that is revolutionizing the neurosciences. To date, due to the optical complexity that is involved, photostimulation has only been achieved at a single site using high power light sources. Here we present a GaN based micro-light emitting diode (LED) array that can open the way to multi-site photostimulation of neuron cells. The d...

• Chronic microelectrode implants in V1 • Anesthetized, paralyzed macaque monkeys • Data from the microelectrode array was recorded by the Cerebus data acquisition system • The Cerebus system monitored each channel’s voltage for values exceeding a threshold • 1.2ms chunks of data were saved (30kHz) each time threshold was reached • Thresholds were set independently for each channel and were det...

We have developed gel sheet-supported C(2)C(12) myotube micropatterns and combined them with a microelectrode array chip to afford a skeletal muscle cell-based bioassay system. Myotube line patterns cultured on a glass substrate were transferred with 100% efficiency to the surface of fibrin gel sheets. The contractile behavior of each myotube line pattern on the gel was individually controlled ...
