This paper presents a tubing-free microfluidic wound healing assay to quantify the migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). In this study, gravity was used to generate a laminar flow within microfluidic channels, enabling wound formation of VSMCs in a tubing-free manner. The effects of channel geometries (i.e., variations in channel height and PDMS based channel thickness) and chemokines...
The biosensor based on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) properties of gold nanoparticles and integrated with microfluidics, which has some merits such as mass-producible, sensitive, low consumption of the sample, real-time and low-cost, was developed. The gold nanoparticles were prepared by electron beam evaporation Au island film onto quartz substrates followed by annealing at 560–600 °C...
Oral Diseases (2011) 17, 745–752
Many of the target molecules that reside in blood are also present in oral fluids, albeit at lower concentrations. Oral fluids are, however, relatively easy and safe to collect without the need for specialized equipment and training. Thus, oral fluids provide convenient samples for medical diagnostics. Recent advances in lab‐on‐a‐chip technologies have made minute,...
Presently, an estimated 35 million people are living with HIV, 300 million with Hepatitis C (HCV), with thousands of human fatalities registered ever day due to these and similar infectious diseases. Efficient, reliable, inexpensive medical solutions are therefore needed to tackle these issues. Identification of HIV and HCV is however not easy. Being significantly smaller than cells and bacteria,...
