This thesis focuses on developing microfluidic systems using dielectrophoresis (DEP) to manipulate and isolate biological species. It presents several innovations in electrokinetic systems, including a device for pairing cells with minimal loss during enca ...

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide and understanding the risk factors affecting it is key for prevention. The relative risk of developing breast cancer is related to exposure to both endogenous hormones and exogenous natural and ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), caused by the mutation of dystrophin gene, is an X-linked disorder that affects 1 in 3500 males, leading to progressive muscle degeneration and eventually resulting in premature death. Increasing evidence indicates that D ...

The tremendous isomeric diversity of carbohydrates enables a wide range of their biological functions but makes the identification and study of these molecules difficult. We investigated the ability of intermolecular interactions to communicate structural ...

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a life changing condition, affecting 20 million women worldwide. In this study, we developed a bioactive, injectable bulking agent that consists of Permacol (TM) (Medtronic, Switzerland) and recombinant insulin like gro ...

Lymphatic vessels have traditionally been considered as passive conduits for interstitial fluid drainage and for immune cell trafficking to lymph nodes. In the last two decades, many studies have challenged this classical dogma: lymphatic endothelial cells ...

Circadian rhythms in physiology and behavior evolved to resonate with daily cycles in the external environment. In mammals, organs orchestrate temporal physiology over the 24-h day, which requires extensive gene expression rhythms targeted to the right tis ...

The molecular clock has been conserved from cyanobacteria to mammals and is believed to align behavioral and biochemical processes with the diurnal cycle. This cellular mechanism has been an advantage to increase the fitness of organisms through the abilit ...

Several aspects in the field of molecular self assembly are addressed in this thesis. Thanks to the scanning tunnelling microscope (STM), structural, electronic and magnetic properties on surfaces can be studied down to the size of a single atom. In this t ...

The conformations of a number of M2TMP-(22-46) sequence variants have been investigated using ion mobility spectrometry (IMS). Substantial conformational changes were evidenced by IMS upon the variation of a single amino acid in the peptide sequence, with ...

Despite the widespread use of UV254 irradiation and solar disinfection for water treatment, little is known about the photochemical pathways that lead to virus inactivation by these treatments. The goal of this study was to identify reactions that occur in ...

Lymphatic vessels are essential for lipid absorption and transport. Despite increasing numbers of observations linking lymphatic vessels and lipids, little research has been devoted to address how dysregulation of lipid balance in the blood, ie, dyslipidem ...
