Specific device for cells sampling

Cosnier M.L., Martin F., Ratel D., Berger F., Caillat P., Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique, FR

We developed a miniaturized biopsy tool for harvesting molecules of interest in delicate areas such as brain. This tool permits harvesting of intact cells permitting genomic analysis on these cells. The sampling tool is manufactured [...]

Development of a specific micro/nanodevice validating the concept of molecular biopsy

Berger F., Bouamrani A., Cosnier M., Martin F., Caillat P., Benabid A.L., Inserm, FR

The nanomedicine concept implies early detection at the molecular level and molecular characterisation to implement a specific therapy. In this context, the development of micro/nanotool devoted for intra-tissular characterisation is indispensable. We first demonstrated that [...]

Dimensioning of a New Micro-Needle for the Dispense of Drugs in Tumors and Cell Clusters

Berthier J., Rivera F., Caillat P., Berger F., CEA-LETI, FR

In medical treatment, there is a constant need to deliver active molecules into targeted cells, but this dispense is often difficult and time consuming. For example, in cancerology, it has been shown that active molecules [...]
