Droplet microfluidics driven by gradients of confinement.
The miniaturization of droplet manipulation methods has led to drops being proposed as microreactors in many applications of biology and chemistry. In parallel, microfluidic methods have been applied to generate monodisperse emulsions for applications in the pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food industries. To date, microfluidic droplet production has been dominated by a few designs that use hyd...
متن کاملChemical gradients on graphene to drive droplet motion.
This work demonstrates the production of a well-controlled, chemical gradient on the surface of graphene. By inducing a gradient of oxygen functional groups, drops of water and dimethyl-methylphosphonate (a nerve agent simulant) are "pulled" in the direction of increasing oxygen content, while fluorine gradients "push" the droplet motion in the direction of decreasing fluorine content. The dire...
متن کاملTranscoronary concentration gradients of circulating microRNAs.
BACKGROUND Circulating levels of microRNA (miR) have been proposed as biomarkers for cardiovascular disease. To identify the heart as a potential source for miRs released into the circulation, we measured concentration gradients across the coronary circulation for muscle-enriched (miR-133a, miR-499, miR-208a), vascular (miR-126, miR-92a), leukocyte-related (miR-155), and platelet-enriched (miR-...

متن کاملModel for Protein Concentration Gradients in the Cytoplasm.
Intracellular protein concentration gradients are generally thought to be unsustainable at steady-state due to diffusion. Here we show how protein concentration gradients can theoretically be sustained indefinitely through a relatively simple mechanism that couples diffusion to a spatially segregated kinase-phosphatase system. Although it is appreciated that such systems can theoretically give ...
