Booth and Kim (2012) micro-BBB device
Here is the paper I reviewed at the NRG meeting on 06/19.
I’ve also included my presentation:
This week I’m working on designing the basal and apical chambers, considering the necessary shear stresses.

AFM of wafers
JP handed me a stack of wafers today, and I went over to the Krauss Lab and with the help of Jack Calcines got some AFM images. I didn’t have much time to play with, so I tried to get the most data I could quickly. I think we’ll have to do a more exhaustive…
Nafion-coated SiN Salt Water Filtrations (Part II)
After all the nafion-coated pnc-Si chips that Jirachai gave me broke during my last attempt to filter salt water, Jirachai was kind enough to supply me with a new batch of chips, this one a mix of SiN and pnc-Si, both covered in a thin film of nafion. The idea was that since Nafion is…
Track-Etched Membrane Update
ByMike HThis morning I did a little work with the track etched membranes (0.05um 13mm). I talked with Paul over in Hopeman and he is currently working on making a small coring tool to cut out the membranes (it should be done by the end of the day). In the mean time I figured out that…
Counterflow System Prototype Successfully Implemented
ByHenryHi all, After a brief hiatus from winter break and my paper writing Mike and i have resumed our work on fabricating the counetrflow system, and we do have a success. Fabrication: The counterflow system is constructed based on oxide-layer protected pnc-Si, hosted within the V-notched Si-wafer that Dave specially produced for us. The membrane…
CRePE-ssNP UR Update Nov. 2021
ByJimTo keep the NRG up-to-date on the goings-on in our collaboration with the University of Ottawa, we will plan to share our progress slide decks from the CRePE-ssNP group meetings that happen every two months. Periodically, we’ll also update the NRG on overall progress of the project including the work done in the two Ottawa…
Visualization of Endothelial Focal Adhesion Formation on Transparent Porous SiO2 Membranes
Introduction Permeable membranes provide a physiologically relevant cell culture substrate for in vitro study of barrier cell types, such as endothelial cells, which assume a polarized morphology with distinct apical and basolateral surfaces. Cell morphology and subsequent monolayer formation and barrier function are largely dependent on initial interactions with the cell culture substrate via focal adhesions….
