  1. 6. μLEDs for optogenetics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Lukas Wendt; [2018]
    Keywords : μLED; microLED; optogenetics; nitrides; platelets; LNL; epilepsy; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Optogenetics is unfolding new ways for us to study the nervous system and could one day be a standard approach to treat neurological diseases like epilepsy. To selectively study the effects on a subcellular level, microscopic light sources are needed. READ MORE

  3. 7. Fabrication and characterisation of a 3-layer aorta-on-a-chip

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mikrosystemteknik

    Author : Karolina Svensson; [2017]
    Keywords : Organ-on-a-chip; aorta-on-a-chip; PDMS; COC; microfabrication; APTES;

    Abstract : Endothelial cells, EC, are the cell type closest to the blood stream in vessel walls. These cells can affect the origin of atherosclerosis, plaques clogging the vessels. The behaviour of EC is affected by neighbouring smooth muscle cells and shear stress from the blood flow. READ MORE

  4. 8. Neural differentiation of human embryonic stem cells in a microfluidic system

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Marc Isaksson; [2015]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The development of the human embryonic brain is a complex process involving several biological cues which interact to generate speci_c neural cells and anatomical features. There are still many questions to be addressed regarding biological key mechanisms which in case of malfunction might disturb the development of the brain. READ MORE

  5. 9. Patterning of Highly Conductive Conjugated Polymers for Actuator Fabrication

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biosensorer och bioelektronik

    Author : Daniel Falk; [2015]
    Keywords : Biosensors; Bioelectronics; Microactuators; Conjugated polymers; Polypyrrole; PEDOT; Soft Lithography; Microcontact printing; Vapor phase polymerization; Drop-on-Demand printing; Photolithography; Lift-off;

    Abstract : Trilayer polypyrrole microactuators that can operate in air have previously been developed. They consist of two outer layers ofthe electroactive polymer polypyrrole (PPy) and one inner layer of a porous poly(vinylidene flouride) (PVDF) membranecontaining a liquid electrolyte. READ MORE

  6. 10. Acoustic Focusing in Microdroplets

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Erik Rodhe; [2013]
    Keywords : Microfluidics; Droplet generation; Segmented flows; Acoustofluidics; Particle focusing; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the possibility to combine droplet generation techniques together with acoustic particle manipulation in microfluidics to achieve focusing of particles inside micro droplets. In the thesis I introduce the reader to the general concepts of microfluidics, droplet dynamics, acoustics and microfabrication which are the basis for my experiments. READ MORE
