Patternable particle microarray utilizing controllable particle delivery
Abstract In this study, we demonstrate an on-demand delivering and sequential arraying of single microparticles utilizing multiple pneumatic pressure-driven elastomer valves and... -
Retrospective analysis in oculocutaneous albinism patients for the 2.7 kb del...
Abstract Background Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is an autosomal recessive disorder. A significant portion of OCA patients has been found with a single pathogenic variant... -
Isolation of exosomes from whole blood by a new microfluidic device: proof of...
Abstract Background Exosomes are endocytic-extracellular vesicles with a diameter around 100 nm that play an essential role on the communication between cells. In fact, they... -
Saliva exosomes-derived UBE2O mRNA promotes angiogenesis in cutaneous wounds ...
Abstract Background Enhancing angiogenesis is critical for accelerating wound healing. Application of different types of exosomes (Exos) to promote angiogenesis represents a... -
One–shot phase stepping with a pulsed laser and modulation of polarization: a...
For applications involving time varying optical phase distributions, fast cameras and/or pulsed lasers have to be used. To apply phase–shifting interferometry techniques (PSI)... -
Synthesis of graphene oxide-quaternary ammonium nanocomposite with synergisti...
Abstract Background Bacterial infection is one of the most common complications in burn, trauma, and chronic refractory wounds and is an impediment to healing. The frequent... -
Fat mass and fat distribution are associated with low back pain intensity and...
Abstract Background Determining the association between body composition and low back pain (LBP) will improve our understanding of the mechanisms by which obesity affects LBP,... -
Applicability of RNA standards for evaluating RT-qPCR assays and platforms
Abstract The availability of diverse RT-qPCR assay formats and technologies hinder comparability of data between platforms. Reference standards to facilitate platform evaluation... -

Abstract Background The comparisons of molecular characterization and antibiotic resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) isolates from humans and other animal hosts are not... -
Development of a benchmark tool for cancer centers; results from a pilot exer...
Abstract Background Differences in cancer survival exist between countries in Europe. Benchmarking of good practices can assist cancer centers to improve their services aiming... -
Three-dimensional Dammann array
We demonstrate a scheme that can produce a three-dimensional (3D) focus spot array in a 3D lattice structure, called a 3D Dammann array, in focal region of an objective. This 3D... -
Source transformation device formed by one-dimensional photonic crystal
Photonic bandgap structures can also be utilized for the realization of transformational optical devices like metamaterials. In this Letter, the possibility of cylindrical to... -
Performance of Nano-Submicron-Stripe Pd Thin-Film Temperature Sensors
Abstract Dozens of small dual-beam thin-film temperature sensors with a total width down to 430 nm were fabricated and tested. The sensors were all made from 90-nm-thick Pd thin... -
INSPECT: extending plane-casting for 6-DOF control
Abstract INSPECT is a novel interaction technique for 3D object manipulation using a rotation-only tracked touch panel. Motivated by the applicability of the technique on... -
Fecal metatranscriptomics of macaques with idiopathic chronic diarrhea reveal...
Abstract Background Idiopathic chronic diarrhea (ICD) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality among juvenile rhesus macaques. Characterized by chronic inflammation of the... -
Chemostat culture systems support diverse bacteriophage communities from huma...
Abstract Background Most human microbiota studies focus on bacteria inhabiting body surfaces, but these surfaces also are home to large populations of viruses. Many are... -
Major differential gene regulation in Coxiella burnetii between in vivo and i...
Abstract Background Coxiella burnetii is the causative agent of the zoonotic disease Q fever. As it is an intracellular pathogen, infection by C. burnetii requires adaptation to... -
Capturing the diversity of the human gut microbiota through culture-enriched ...
Abstract Background The human gut microbiota has been implicated in most aspects of health and disease; however, most of the bacteria in this community are considered... -
Pancreatic cancer-initiating cell exosome message transfer into noncancer-ini...
Abstract Background Cancer-initiating cell (CIC) exosomes (CIC-TEX) are suggested reprogramming Non-CIC. Mode of message transfer and engagement of CIC-markers being disputed,... -
