Background
The lack of uniformity in the outcomes reported in clinical studies of the treatment of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) complicates efforts to compare treatment effectiveness across trials.
Objectives
To develop a core outcome set (COS), a minimum set of agreed‐upon outcomes to be measured in all clinical trials of a given disease or outcome, for the treatment of cSCC.
Methods...
We report a method for forming arrays of live single cells on a chip using polymer micro-traps made of SU8. We have studied the toxicity of the microfabricated structures and the associated environment for two cell lines. We also report a method for measuring the oxygen consumption rate of a single cell using optical interrogation of molecular oxygen sensors placed in micromachined micro-wells by...
Self-assembly is a promising technique for fast and cost-effective integration of microcomponents especially at smaller scales. Methods are needed to program the self-assembly process so that we can assemble heterogeneous components necessary to build a complex system. Here we present a new method of programming the self-assembly process which is based on optically removing blocking polymer from designated...
We present high-yield self-assembly results of silicon microcomponents assembled onto plastic substrates. The self-assembly is achieved by engineering the fluid flow over the substrate containing an array of microfluidic traps. This simple self-assembly method has demonstrated physical yields exceeding 90% as well as electrical connections between the microcomponents and the substrate. Using templates...
Major advances in the understanding in the biological sciences have been achieved by the precision automation of repetitive analytical procedures. The requirements for precision are pushed to the extreme when considering the analysis of cell function at the single cell level. Such analyses may include examination of gene expression, protein synthesis, and metabolic activity. The repetitive nature...
We present the use of self-assembly to integrate a large number of free-standing microcomponents onto unconventional substrates. The microcomponents are batch fabricated separately from different semiconductor materials in potentially incompatible microfabrication processes and integrated onto unconventional substrates such as glass and plastic. These substrates offer a number of unique attributes...
