Bioinformatics approaches to malaria
Bioinformatics approaches to malaria Malaria is a life threatening disease found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Each year it kills 781 000 individuals; most of them are children under the age of five in sub-Saharan Africa. The most severe form of malaria in humans is caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum, which is the subject of the first part of this thesis. The PfEMP...
متن کاملApplication of Microfluidic Device to Malaria Diagnosis
Of many diagnostic devices and technology developed, microfluidics could be superior in terms of ease of fabrication, cost, portability, speed and sensitivity. The application of diagnosis of malaria infection by microfluidics is studied. Malaria infected red blood cells will cause a cell stiffening, and the different behaviors of iRBCs could be detected by microfluidics. The malaria market and...
متن کاملMicrofluidic approaches to bacterial biofilm formation.
Bacterial biofilms-aggregations of bacterial cells and extracellular polymeric substrates (EPS)-are an important subject of research in the fields of biology and medical science. Under aquatic conditions, bacterial cells form biofilms as a mechanism for improving survival and dispersion. In this review, we discuss bacterial biofilm development as a structurally and dynamically complex biologica...
متن کاملMicrofluidic approaches for engineering vasculature
Introduction Vascularization of biomaterials — whether for envisioned applications in tissue engineering or for use in ‘organ-ona-chip’ devices — remains a challenging problem, as a quick glance at many of the reviews in this issue reveals. Traditional methods of vascularization, based on the controlled release of angiogenic factors or on the selforganization of vascular cells into open tubes, ...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Electric Impedance Spectroscopy for Malaria Diagnosis
This paper presents a label-free and noninvasive cell-counting assay system for electrical diagnostic tests of Falciparum malaria using electric impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Our system enabled a high-throughput test in a compact form-factor by the integration of a microfluidic device and a custom circuit board. Based on the differentiation of dielectric properties between cells and container m...
