Directed cell migration is a complex cellular function that critically mediates a broad range of physiological and pathological processes. Chemical concentration gradient and electric field are two important guidance cues for many cell types such as immune cells, metastatic cancer cells, adult stem cells and neurons. Microfluidic devices can precisely configure cellular microenvironments and...

In this study, the temperature dependence of acoustic harmonics generated by nonlinear ultrasound beam propagation in a mixture of 90% glycerol and 10% water (by volume) used as a tissue-mimicking liquid, was studied as a function of temperature from 26°C to 46°C at two different frequencies. Simulations were performed with a temperature-dependent Khokhlov–Zabolotskaya–Kuznetsov (KZK)...

Nanopores are of great interest in the study of biological systems and in the development of new scientific and industrial tools.
Synthetic nanopores, constructed from silicon wafers or similar materials, show great potential for detecting, sorting, and manipulating polymers rapidly and efficienctly.
Traditional nanopores are short cylindrical holes in a membrane, whose radii and lengths are...

Silk fibres from the Bombyx Mori silkworm are well known for their impressive strength and toughness. They have mechanical properties that are comparable to the best synthetic fibres available, and consequently have numerous applications as structural materials in biomedicine and engineering. Despite their importance as high performance materials, a comprehensive understanding of the how the...

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
We discuss the use of a recently developed microscopy technique,
differential dynamic microscopy (DDM), for studying the collective dynamics of two dimensional assemblies of living cells. DDM is a Fourier-space image analysis method that allows one to obtain the equivalent of multi-angle dynamic light scattering data using an ordinary white-light microscopy set-up and a digital video camera....
