A few weeks ago, professor Mike Aziz in Harvard University helped to annealed two samples and in-situ imaged the early stage of pore formation using their Jeol2010-hot-stage-TEM. The oxide seemed intact during the process. The sample was unannealed 20(bottom)/15(a-si)/10(top) three stack with removing the substrate. The first sample was heating to 693C. They took one…

I drew an approximation of the SiMPore liftoff device and ran the COMSOL model with 1 mL/min urea fluid flow in the upper channels and 2 mL/min dialysate in the bottom channels. With this initial model, the urea was cleared to 40% (60% removed). This is an instantaneous urea clearance rate of K= 0.6 mL/min….

In previous experiments where the affinity based capture of EVs in ALine devices was tested, issues were encountered. It was noticed that when capturing EVs on the ALine, the non-biotinylated slit membranes had captured a higher quantity of EVs compared to biotinylated membranes. This conclusion led us to question if the flow through the ALine…

To complement the recent study which investigated pore changes during discoloration with TEM, I did AFM on the same samples.  These were w673 samples which were incubated in DMEM (-FBS) in the 37C oven.  We didn’t use FBS because I thought the serum proteins would have adsorbed to the samples and then made AFM analysis…

Introduction Sphingosine-1-phosphate: production and endothelial cell signaling Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive sphingolipid produced through the phosphorylation of sphingosine, a component of the plasma membrane, by SphK1/2. Many cells produce and store S1P, the largest source of which is platelets, due to their high native SphK activity. Erythrocytes and leukocytes are also sources of S1P…
