Book High Throughput Microfluidic Technologies for Cell Separation and Single cell Analysis

Download or read book High Throughput Microfluidic Technologies for Cell Separation and Single cell Analysis written by Lidan Wu (Ph. D.) and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The heterogeneity of individual cellular behavior in response to physical and chemical stimuli has raised increasing attention in many biological processes. There is great incentive in developing techniques for high throughput single-cell measurements and manipulations. Particularly, cell size has been recognized as an important parameter in single cell study and pericellular protease activity plays a key role in regulating the microenvironment of individual cells. Therefore, this thesis focuses on establishing new methods to address the issues of cell size and single cell protease measurement. We first develop a size-based cell separation technique using Dean-coupled inertial microfluidic sorter. Separation of cells by size before downstream assays might be beneficial in simplifying the system and facilitating the discovery of rare subpopulations through enrichment of cells with certain size range or cell cycle phase. By investigating the particle focusing and separation mechanisms in curved microfluidic channel, we develop a novel design of inertial microfluidic sorter with higher separation resolution and then demonstrate its capacity in leukocyte isolation from blood. This novel cell sorter would be a promising alternative to many other cell separation problems. We then establish a microfluidic platform for functional measurement of single cell pericellular proteases, including both those secreted and expressed on cell surface. We apply the platform to studying the PMA-mediated protease response of HepG2 cells at single-cell level and reveal the diversity in the dynamic patterns of single-cell protease activity profile upon drug stimulation. We also present the preliminary exploration of single-cell protease activity behavior in anticancer drug resistance development. Lastly, we explore the applicability of our platform for single-cell shedding measurement. Protease-mediated molecular shedding is one of the key mechanisms through which individual cells actively regulate their own microenvironment. However, the amount of molecules being shed for individual cells is extremely low, posing significant challenges in detecting shedding quantitatively. By means of analytical analysis and numerical simulations, we investigate the intrinsic noise of low-abundance molecule detection. Experimental characterizations have also been performed to evaluate the impact of practical factors on actual readout variation.

Book Integrated Microfluidic Device for Single cell High Throughput Screening in Dynamic Gene Expression Analysis

Download or read book Integrated Microfluidic Device for Single cell High Throughput Screening in Dynamic Gene Expression Analysis written by Lawrence Kwan Yeung Hui and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, interest in microfluidics has surged as applications have trended towards novel biological assays. Specifically, the ability of microfluidics to parallelize cellular studies through array-based chip designs has attracted researchers interested in investigating cellular function under a wide variety of environmental conditions. The capability of microfluidic devices to control microenvironment conditions and induce dynamic perturbation to cellular systems makes microfluidics (or "lab-on-a-chip") an attractive platform to study gene expression dynamics. In this project, the functionality of microfluidic technology is exploited to design and construct a device for isolation and observation of cells in high throughput. The integration of a concentration gradient with homogenous medium within each chamber was designed specifically to investigate gene regulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae under various concentrations of chemical inducers. These devices were designed to sustain cells for extended periods of time with high temporal resolution to study dynamic gene expression in single cells. The device builds on previous studies by probing up to eight distinct cell cultures in parallel. The microfluidic platform was then used to study yeast cells at various levels of inducer perturbations. Further experimentation revealed the utility of a parallel gradient by producing an induction curve of the yeast response. Such high-throughput designs will prove essential to yeast systems biology research as it strives to understand the complex regulatory interactions that dictate cell function by probing vast regions of parameter space.

Book Self Learning Microfluidic Platform for Single Cell Imaging and Classification in Flow

Download or read book Self Learning Microfluidic Platform for Single Cell Imaging and Classification in Flow written by Iordania Constantinou and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Single-cell analysis commonly requires the confinement of cell suspensions in an analysis chamber or the precise positioning of single cells in small channels. Hydrodynamic flow focusing has been broadly utilized to achieve stream confinement in microchannels for such applications. As imaging flow cytometry gains popularity, the need for imaging-compatible microfluidic devices that allow for precise confinement of single cells in small volumes becomes increasingly important. At the same time, high-throughput single-cell imaging of cell populations produces vast amounts of complex data, which gives rise to the need for versatile algorithms for image analysis. In this work, we present a microfluidics-based platform for single-cell imaging in-flow and subsequent image analysis using variational autoencoders for unsupervised characterization of cellular mixtures. We use simple and robust Y-shaped microfluidic devices and demonstrate precise 3D particle confinement towards the microscope slide for high-resolution imaging. To demonstrate applicability, we use these devices to confine heterogeneous mixtures of yeast species, brightfield-image them in-flow and demonstrate fully unsupervised, as well as few-shot classification of single-cell images with 88% accuracy.

Book Microfluidic Organ on a Chip  Revolutionary Platforms for Disease Comprehension and Treatment

Download or read book Microfluidic Organ on a Chip Revolutionary Platforms for Disease Comprehension and Treatment written by Shi-Cong Tao and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existing culture systems have a limited ability to reproduce the complicated and dynamic microenvironment of a functioning organ. To solve the issues of conventional culture techniques, multidisciplinary researchers, involving medical doctors, stem cell and developmental biology experts, engineers and physical scientists, have emerged to innovate methods and devices. A microfluidic organ-on-a-chip (μOOC) is a cell culture device, based on microfluidic technology, which contains continuously perfused chambers with cells to simulate organ-level physiology/pathology. The μOOC is not to build a whole living organ, but rather to synthesize minimal functional units that recapitulate organ-/tissue-level functions. The μOOC can be applied to study not only the convention stimulation on cells by molecular/drugs, but also physical forces (fluid shear stress, cyclic strain and mechanical compression), organ-specific cell-cell intercommunication, and organ-organ coupling responses. There is an emerging need for innovative approaches for the production, control, analysis, and utilization of the μOOC, and even the multiple interconnected μOOC (Human-on-a-Chip). Although the μOOC has attracted much attention and is continuous being studied, there are still many difficult problems to be solved. Some of the most mentioned challenges include microenvironmental (biochemical, biophysical, biomechanical, nutrient, etc.) control, modeling tissue–tissue and multiorgan interactions, and reducing variability (automated control, high-throughput manipulation/analysis, integration of biosensing and etc.).
