Journal ArticleDOI
Label-free cell separation and sorting in microfluidic systems
Daniel R. Gossett,Daniel R. Gossett,Westbrook M. Weaver,Westbrook M. Weaver,Albert J. Mach,Albert J. Mach,Soojung Claire Hur,Soojung Claire Hur,Henry T. K. Tse,Henry T. K. Tse,Wonhee Lee,Wonhee Lee,Hamed Amini,Hamed Amini,Dino Di Carlo,Dino Di Carlo +15 more
TL;DR: A wide range of microfluidic technologies have been developed to separate and sort cells by taking advantage of differences in their intrinsic biophysical properties, including size, electrical polarizability, and hydrodynamic properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accelerated wound healing by injectable microporous gel scaffolds assembled from annealed building blocks
TL;DR: An injectable, interconnected microporous gel scaffold assembled from annealed microgel building blocks whose chemical and physical properties can be tailored by microfluidic fabrication facilitated cell migration that resulted in rapid cutaneous-tissue regeneration and tissue-structure formation within five days.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size-selective collection of circulating tumor cells using Vortex technology
Elodie Sollier,Derek E. Go,James Che,Daniel R. Gossett,Sean O'Byrne,Westbrook M. Weaver,Nicolas Kummer,Matthew Rettig,Jonathan H. Goldman,Nicholas G. Nickols,Susan McCloskey,Rajan P. Kulkarni,Dino Di Carlo +12 more
TL;DR: This Vortex approach offers significant advantages over existing technologies, especially in terms of processing time, sample concentration, applicability to various cancer types, cell integrity and purity, and widespread adoption by clinicians and biologists who desire to enumerate CTCs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activating an adaptive immune response from a hydrogel scaffold imparts regenerative wound healing
Donald R. Griffin,Donald R. Griffin,Maani M. Archang,Chen-Hsiang Kuan,Westbrook M. Weaver,Jason S. Weinstein,An-Chieh Feng,Amber Ruccia,Elias Sideris,Vasileios Ragkousis,Jaekyung Koh,Maksim V. Plikus,Dino Di Carlo,Tatiana Segura,Tatiana Segura,Philip O. Scumpia,Philip O. Scumpia +16 more
TL;DR: D-peptide crosslinked MAP hydrogel (d-MAP) hastened material degradation in vivo and imparted significant tissue regeneration to healed cutaneous wounds, including increased tensile strength and hair neogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particle Hydrogels Based on Hyaluronic Acid Building Blocks
Elias Sideris,Donald R. Griffin,Yichen Ding,Shuoran Li,Westbrook M. Weaver,Dino Di Carlo,Tzung K. Hsiai,Tatiana Segura +7 more
TL;DR: Three orthogonal annealing chemistries based on an enzymatic reaction, light based radical polymerization, and amine/carboxylic acid based cross-linking are explored to demonstrate the versatility of particle hydrogels and explore potential physical differences between the approaches.
