The electrostatic layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly technique can be used to make uniform, conformal multi-stack nanoparticle thin films from aqueous solution, with precise thickness and roughness control over each stack. Much ...

The ultrafiltration of plasma in the mammalian glomerulus is the first step in the processing of blood by the kidney. Proper functioning of this process is critical to the kidney's ability to effectively eliminate waste ...

Cell motility is often governed by growth factor receptor and integrin adhesion receptor interactions with the extracellular environment followed by collaborative intracellular signaling. While integrin ligands are necessarily ...

The main body of this work considers the design and development of a microfluidic, continuous electrochemical sensor capable of measuring accurate potential differences. The key challenge in creating such a device is the ...

While chromated copper arsenate (CCA) has proven to be exceptionally effective in protecting wood from rot and infestation, its toxic nature has led to the problem of disposal of CCA-treated lumber and remediation of waters ...
