Rat Dialysis Device Animations
Here’s a few sketchup animations I made for Dean’s device, based on his PPG presentation last week:

Introduction: Transforming Growth Factor -β1 (TGF-β1) is a key player in the induction and progression of fibrosis in many tissues. This factor has also been established as a regulator in the development of fibrotic diseases for its involvement of different signaling pathways and cross-talks between many signaling cascades. We are in collaboration with Dr. Hani…
This will be at least a three part series. Here in Part I, we will establish why adding flow to electrophoretic sensor (ssNP) is a bad idea. In Part II we will show why microfluidics is a benefit to adhesion-based sensors. In Part III we will explore the ability of a NPN/ssNP dual membrane sensor…
Last week I made a post showing the diffusion of DDM and BSA through SC267. I an effort to increase the negative charge associated with the membrane material I proposed using UV-Ozone exposure. A while back there was some concern that the UV-Ozone system was contaminated by PDMS, and that a standard cleaning protocol needed…
Introduction Mural cells, including smooth muscle cells and pericytes, are important for supporting endothelial cells in the vasculature [1]. They play a role in angiogenesis, and contribute to the development of the vascular basement membrane that provides structure for blood vessels [1,2]. Numerous in vitro models of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) have incorporated pericytes alongside…
I took a closer look at some of Lingyun’s samples today, and captured some interesting TEM images. wafer 205 with 10 nm Ti @ 35kx wafer 205 with 10nm Ti @ 250kx wafer 205 with 10nm Ti & 10nm Au @ 35kx wafer 205 with 10nm Ti & 10nm Au @ 200kx The higher mag….
I couldn’t really make sense of what was happening in this post, and in particular this figure threw me for a loop: So to help myself understand the relationship I whipped up a little matlab app to show the relationship a little clearer: Moving the sliding bar on the bottom changes the y-position…
