Correction for 'Continuous inertial microparticle and blood cell separation in straight channels with local microstructures' by Zhenlong Wu et al., Lab Chip, 2016, 16, 532-542.

This report describes the whole-genome sequences of two Mn(II)-oxidizing bacteria, filamentous Mn oxide microparticle-forming Bosea sp. strain BIWAKO-01 and alphaproteobacterium strain U9-1i.

A silica microparticle has been successfully employed as a nanoscaffold to self-organize porphyrin and C60 molecules on a nanostructured SnO2 electrode which exhibits efficient photocurrent generation.

Surveillance of viral pathogens in both point-of-care and clinical settings is imperative to preventing the widespread propagation disease—undetected outbreaks can pose dire health risks on a large scale. Thus, portable, accessible, reliable biosensors are necessary for proactive measures. Polymeric microparticles have recently gained popularity their size, surface area, versatility, which make...

Thorough understanding of the behaviour core–shell microparticles with a liquid core is essential for determining their performance in applications under different operation conditions. This paper reports particles thermal and mechanical loads. First, we formulated an analytical model heating process microparticle core. Next, utilised axisymmetric elastic spherical shell upon compression to des...

Moderate-severe obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) has been associated with several pro-atherogenic mechanisms and increased cardiovascular risk, but it is not known if minimally symptomatic OSA has similar effects. Circulating cell-derived microparticles have been shown to have pro-inflammatory, pro-coagulant and endothelial function-impairing effects, as well as to predict subclinical atheroscler...
