MODELING BROWNIAN MICROPARTICLE TRAJECTORIES IN LAB-ON-A-CHIP DEVICES WITH TIME VARYING DIELECTROPHORETIC OR OPTICAL FORCES

Modeling Brownian Microparticle Trajectories in Lab-on-a-Chip Devices with Time Varying Dielectrophoretic or Optical Forces

Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices capable of manipulating micro/nano-sized samples have spurred advances in biotechnology and chemistry.Designing and analyzing new and more advanced LOCs require accurate modeling and simulation of sample/particle dynamics inside such devices.In this work, we present a generalized computational physics model to simulate p

Zwitterionic Hydrogel Activates Autophagy to Promote Extracellular Matrix Remodeling for Improved Pressure Ulcer Healing

Pressure ulcer (PU) is a worldwide problem that is hard to heal because of its prolonged inflammatory response and impaired ECM deposition caused by local hypoxia and repeated ischemia/reperfusion.Our previous study discovered that the non-fouling zwitterionic sulfated poly (sulfobetaine methacrylate) (SBMA) hydrogel can improve PU healing with rap
