• Heinrich Emanuel Merck Award 2012 granted to Professor Aaron Wheeler

  Merck announced that the 2012 Heinrich Emanuel Merck Award for Analytical Science will be given to Professor Wheeler from the University of Toronto for his development of a digital microfluidic method for the extraction and quantification of estrogen in 1-microliter samples of breast tissue homogena more

• IBN's 'Fish and Chips' May Help Accelerate Drug Discovery

  A cheaper, faster and more efficient platform for preclinical drug discovery applications has been invented by scientists at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN). Called 'Fish and Chips', the novel multi-channel microfluidic perfusion platform can grow and monitor the development more

• Good timing: NIST/CU collaboration adds timing capability to living cell sensors
  

  Individual cells modified to act as sensors using fluorescence are already useful tools in biochemistry, but now they can add good timing to their resumé, thanks in part to expertise from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).With the added capability to track the timing of dynam more

• Microdevices for Nanomedicine

  This review surveys selected methods of manufacture and applications of microdevices—miniaturized functional devices capable of handling cell and tissue cultures or producing particles—and discusses their potential relevance to nanomedicine. Many characteristics of microdevices such as miniaturizati more

• Fabrication of phospholipid–xanthan microcapsules by combining microfluidics with self-assembly

  May 2013 Publication year: 2013Source:Acta Biomaterialia, Volume 9, Issue 5 We report the synthesis of an amphiphilic polysaccharide, a phospholipid (1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-phosphoetilamine, DOPE) conjugated with the anionic xanthan gum, and its ability to spontaneously self-assemble u more

• Extracellular vesicles as prospective carriers of oncogenic protein signatures in adult and pediatric brain tumours

  Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, act as biological effectors and carriers of oncogenic signatures in human cancer. The molecular composition and accessibility of EVs in biofluids open unprecedented diagnostic opportunities in malignancies where tumour tissue is difficult to sample more
