Size-Dependent Separation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells by Applying Microfluidic Chip Filtration

Yu S.-Y., Yoo J-H, Chun M.-S., Chang M.-S., Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), KR

It is important to separate human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) with high multipotential to differentiation and to increase efficacy of cell therapy. We investigated to develop and validate a novel method for collection [...]

Secondary Microflows in Electrokinetic Transport with Hydrodynamic Slippage Effect

Kim K.S., Chun M.-S., Byun Y.T., Woo D.H., Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), KR

The curved microchannel is frequently encountered in the lab-on-chips because it provides a convenient way for increasing channel length per unit area. The behavior of electrokinetic flow with curvature-induced secondary motion was explored based on [...]

Electrokinetic Flows in Highly Charged Micro/Nanochannel with Newtonian Boundary Slip Condition

Chun M.-S., Yun J.H., Kim T-H., Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), KR

The physics of micro/nanofluids has become an area of intense interest both scientifically and technologically. The long-range nature of viscous flows and the small dimension inherent in confined spaces imply that the influence of boundaries [...]
