A novel microfluidic platform for high-resolution imaging of a three-dimensional cell culture under a controlled hypoxic environment.
Low oxygen tensions experienced in various pathological and physiological conditions are a major stimulus for angiogenesis. Hypoxic conditions play a critical role in regulating cellular behaviour including migration, proliferation and differentiation. This study introduces the use of a microfluidic device that allows for the control of oxygen tension for the study of different three-dimensiona...
متن کاملCircuit model for microfluidic bubble generation under controlled pressure
We explore the microfluidic generation of bubbles in a flow-focusing junction using a pressure-controlled device rather than the more common flow ratecontrolled devices. This device is a prototype for extending microfluidic drop generation methods to molten polymers. We show that the bubble generation process is highly sensitive to pressure: small changes in pressure induce large changes in bub...
متن کاملModeling Ant Behavior Under a Variable Environment
This paper studies the behavior of ants when moving in an artificial network composed of several interconnected paths linking their nest to a food source. The ant responses when temporarily blocking the access to some branches of the maze were observed in order to study which factors influenced their local decisions about the paths to follow. We present a mathematical model based on experimenta...
متن کاملCancer-driven dynamics of immune cells in a microfluidic environment
Scope of the present work is to infer the migratory ability of leukocytes by stochastic processes in order to distinguish the spontaneous organization of immune cells against an insult (namely cancer). For this purpose, spleen cells from immunodeficient mice, selectively lacking the transcription factor IRF-8 (IRF-8 knockout; IRF-8 KO), or from immunocompetent animals (wild-type; WT), were allo...
متن کاملExpansion of human SCID-repopulating cells under hypoxic conditions.
It has been proposed that bone marrow (BM) hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells are distributed along an oxygen (O2) gradient, where stem cells reside in the most hypoxic areas and proliferating progenitors are found in O2-rich areas. However, the effects of hypoxia on human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have not been characterized. Our objective was to evaluate the functional and molecula...
