Transition Metal Dichalcogenides as Cell Culture Platforms

Palumbo A., Tourlomousis F., Chang R., Yang E.H., Stevens Institute of Technology, US

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), such as WS2 and MoS2, have been widely explored for their utilization as two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting nanomaterials with unique electronic, mechanical, and catalytic properties. A multitude of research has been pursued [...]

Hydrodynamically Confined Microfluidics for Single Cell Measurements

Turner K.T., Christ K.V., University of Pennsylvania, US

Microfluidics have proven to be a useful tool in cell biology as they allow for precise control of chemistry and hydrodynamic loads at the scale of single cells. Channel-based microfluidics can be difficult to employ [...]

Functional lipid nanostructures fabricated by dip-pen nanolithography

Lenhert S., Florida State University, US

Combining the advantages of the structural, chemical, and lyotropic properties of membrane lipids with the nanostructuring capabilities of dip-pen nanolithograpy (DPN), makes possible creation of semisynthetic functional lipid nanostructures. Two examples of critical dimensions that [...]

Adhesion and Differentiation of Neuronal Cell on Photoresist Derived Carbon Substrates

Pampuro R., Chen L., Zou T., Zhou H., Worcester Polytechnic Institute, US

Cellular response to substrate topography and chemistry is a crucial aspect in guided neurite growth for application in neuroregenerative medicine. Experiments investigating cell culture on nanopatterned surfaces have elucidated the nuances of cell-substrate interaction. Among [...]
