Electrohydrodynamics and dielectrophoresis in microsystems: scaling laws
The movement and behaviour of particles suspended in aqueous solutions subjected to non-uniform ac electric fields is examined. The ac electric fields induce movement of polarizable particles, a phenomenon known as dielectrophoresis. The high strength electric fields that are often used in separation systems can give rise to fluid motion, which in turn results in a viscous drag on the particle....
متن کاملPushing Hypercubes Around
We study collections of identical, connected modules which may relocate relative to each other; such a collection is called a modular metamorphic system (see [CPE], [MKK], [PEC], [RV], [YMK]). While such a system must always remain connected, it is possible for such a system to reconfigure its shape through successive motions of individual modules, either by rotation and sliding (e.g., [MKK]) o...
متن کاملChromatin: Pushing nucleosomes around
In a eukaryotic cell, genomic DNA does not exist in a free state, but is intricately complexed with chromosomal proteins, particularly histones. The basic chromatin fibre consists of an array of nucleosomes, each packaging around 200 base pairs (bp) of DNA; 146 bp is wound around a core of eight histone molecules (two each of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4), with the remaining DNA forming a linker to the ...
متن کاملAlternating current cloud point extraction on a microchip for preconcentration of membrane-associated biomolecules.
Joule heating and negative dielectrophoresis, caused by AC electric fields in a microchannel, have been employed for cloud point extraction of phospholipid as a model of membrane-associated biomolecules.
متن کاملPushing estrogen receptor around in breast cancer.
The estrogen receptor-α (herein called ER) is a nuclear sex steroid receptor (SSR) that is expressed in approximately 75% of breast cancers. Therapies that modulate ER action have substantially improved the survival of patients with ER-positive breast cancer, but resistance to treatment still remains a major clinical problem. Treating resistant breast cancer requires co-targeting of ER and alte...
