Measurement of a structured backflow in an open small channel induced by surface-tension gradients.
We present experiments in which the laterally confined flow of a surfactant film driven by controlled surface tension gradients causes the subtended liquid layer to self-organize into an inner upstream microduct surrounded by the downstream flow. The anomalous interfacial flow profiles and the concomitant backflow are a result of the feedback between two-dimensional and three-dimensional microf...
متن کاملMicrofluidic electroporation for delivery of small molecules and genes into cells using a common DC power supply.
Electroporation is an efficient method of introducing foreign impermeant molecules such as drugs and genes into cells. Conventional electroporation has been based on the application of short electrical pulses (electropulsation). Electropulsation requires specialized equipment and cannot be integrated easily with techniques such as electrophoresis which is based on constant voltage. Here we demo...
متن کاملMicroscale electroporation: challenges and perspectives for clinical applications.
Microscale engineering plays a significant role in developing tools for biological applications by miniaturizing devices and providing controllable microenvironments for in vitro cell research. Miniaturized devices offer numerous benefits in comparison to their macroscale counterparts, such as lower use of expensive reagents, biomimetic environments, and the ability to manipulate single cells. ...
متن کاملElectroinsertion of glycophorin A in interdigitation-fusion giant unilamellar lipid vesicles.
Previously we demonstrated that transmembrane back insertion of glycophorin A, a solubilizable intrinsic protein, can be obtained in dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine multilamellar vesicles, MLVs, by electropulsation (Raffy, S., and Teissié, J. (1995) Eur. J. Biochem. 230, 722-732). Here we report that transmembrane back insertion of protein is obtained by electropulsion of unilamellar giant vesic...
متن کاملLight-Directed Migration of D. discoideum Slugs in Microfabricated Confinements.
This paper investigates the light-driven migration of the multi-cellular microorganism Dictyostelium discoideum as a potential bio-actuation mechanism in microsystems. As a platform for slug migration we use microscale confinements, which consist of intersecting microchannels fabricated from solidified agar-water solution. The agar surface provides necessary moisture to the slugs during the exp...
