Journal ArticleDOI
Nanomagnetic actuation of receptor-mediated signal transduction.
Robert Mannix,Sanjay Kumar,Sanjay Kumar,Flavia Cassiola,Martin Montoya-Zavala,Efraim Feinstein,Mara Prentiss,Donald E. Ingber +7 more
TL;DR: A magnetic nanotechnology that activates a biochemical signalling mechanism normally switched on by binding of multivalent chemical ligands, and may represent a new actuator mechanism for cell-based microtechnologies and man-machine interfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetically-guided self-assembly of fibrin matrices with ordered nano-scale structure for tissue engineering.
TL;DR: A magnetically-guided, biologically-inspired microfabrication system in which magnetic forces are used to position thrombin-coated magnetic micro-beads in a defined 2-dimensional array and thereby guide the self-assembly of fibrin fibrils through catalytic cleavage of solublefibrinogen substrate is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
RecA homology search is promoted by mechanical stress along the scanned duplex DNA
Claudia Danilowicz,Efraim Feinstein,Alyson Conover,Vincent William Coljee,Julea Vlassakis,Yuen-Ling Chan,Douglas K. Bishop,Mara Prentiss +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that pulling on the opposite termini of one of the two DNA strands in a ds DNA molecule stabilizes the normally unstable binding of that dsDNA to non-homologous RecA–ssDNA filaments, whereas pulling onThe two 3′, the two 5′, or all four termini does not.
Patent
Manipulation of particles in channels
TL;DR: In this article, the magnetic field created by the magnets can be used to transport the magnetic and/or non-magnetic particles to desired locations within the channel, which may useful in some cases for causing some separation of the particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complementary strand relocation may play vital roles in RecA-based homology recognition
Alexandra Peacock-Villada,Darren Yang,Claudia Danilowicz,Efraim Feinstein,Nolan Alan Pollock,Sarah Anne Mcshan,Vincent W. Coljee,Mara Prentiss +7 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that homology recognition is governed by transitions to and from the intermediate structure, where the transitions depend on differential extension in the dsDNA.
