Journal ArticleDOI
Zwitterionic SAMs that Resist Nonspecific Adsorption of Protein from Aqueous Buffer
TL;DR: This paper describes the use of surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiols on gold to evaluate the ability of surfaces terminating in different combinations of charged groups to resist the nonspecific adsorption of proteins from aqueous buffer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microfabrication meets microbiology
TL;DR: This Review summarizes methods for constructing systems and structures at micron or submicron scales that have applications in microbiology and focuses on the application of soft lithographic techniques to the study of microorganisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication of topologically complex three-dimensional microfluidic systems in PDMS by rapid prototyping.

TL;DR: This method can generate topologically complex microfluidic systems and can fabricate a membrane containing a channel that crosses over and under itself, but does not intersect itself and, therefore, can be fabricated in the form of any knot.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved pattern transfer in soft lithography using composite stamps
TL;DR: In this article, the preparation of two-layer stamps was adapted from a procedure originally developed by Schmid et al. (Macromolecules 2000, 33, 3042) for microcontact printing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micropatterned Surfaces for Control of Cell Shape, Position, and Function
TL;DR: Progressively restricting bovine and human endothelial cell extension by culturing cells on smaller and smaller micropatterned adhesive islands regulated a transition from growth to apoptosis on a single continuum of cell spreading, thus confirming the central role of cell shape in cell function.
