Nanofibers in Respiratory Masks: An Alternative to Prevent Pathogen Transmission
Recent global outbreak of COVID-19 has raised serious awareness about our abilities to protect ourselves from hazardous pathogens and volatile organic compounds. Evidence suggests that personal protection equipment such as respiratory masks can radically decrease rates of transmission and infections due to contagious pathogens. To increase filtration efficiency without compromising breathability, application of nanofibers in production of respiratory masks have been proposed. The emergence of nanofibers in the industry has since introduced a next generation of respiratory masks that promises improved filtration efficiency ...

A Review of the Development and Challenges of Cell Mechanical Models
Cell models can express a variety of cell information, including mechanical properties, electrical properties, and chemical properties. Through the analysis of these properties, we can fully understand the physiological state of cells. As such, cell modeling has gradually become a topic of great interest, and a number of cell models have been established over the last few decades. In this paper, the development of various cell mechanical models has been systematically reviewed. First, continuum theoretical models, which were established by ignoring cell structures, are summarized, including the cortical membrane droplet mo...

Modulating the Mechanical Resonance of Huh-7 Cells Based on Elasticity of Adhesion Proteins
In this study, we propose a new method for numerical AFM characterization of Huh-7 cells to estimate its mechanical behavior. We capture the actual image and geometry of the trypsinized Huh-7 cells. These real images are then used for numerical modeling. The natural frequency of the cells was evaluated and found to be in the range of 24 kHz. Furthermore, the impact of focal adhesion (FA’s) stiffness on the fundamental frequency of the Huh-7 cells was investigated. There has been a 6.5 times increase in the natural frequency of the Huh-7 cells on increasing the FA’s stiffness from 5 pN/nm to 500 pN/nm. This in...

Red Blood Cell Membrane Camouflaged Mesoporous Silica Nanorods as Nanocarriers for Synergistic Chemo-Photothermal Therapy
In recent years, nanoparticles camouflaged by red blood cell membrane (RBCM) have become a potential nano-drug delivery platform due to their good biocompatibility and immune evasion capability. Here, a multifunctional drug nanocarrier based on RBCM camouflaged mesoporous silica nanorods (MSNR) is presented, which can be used in pH and near-infrared (NIR) light triggered synergistic chemo-photothermal killing of cancer cells. To fabricate such a nanocarrier, MSNR and RBCM were prepared by the sol-gel method and modified hypotonic lysis method, respectively. Drugs were loaded into the pores of MSNR. Finally, RBCM was coated...

Novel Bottom-Side Polished PCF-Based Plasmonic Biosensor for Early Detection of Hazardous Cancerous Cells
This work presents a single-core bowl-shaped bottom-side polished (BSP) photonic crystal fiber (PCF) sensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) concept for the early detection of hazardous cancer cells in human blood, skin, cervical, breast, and adrenal glands. We have studied liquid samples of cancer-affected and healthy samples with their concentrations/refractive indices in the sensing medium. To induce a plasmonic effect in the PCF sensor, the bottom flat section of a silica PCF fiber is coated with a 40nm plasmonic material, such as gold. To strengthen this effect, a thin TiO2 layer of 5 nm is sandwiched between ...

Study of Inter-Species Social Interactions Among Bacterial Cells Using Computer Vision and Zeta Potential Analysis
The interplay between the growth patterns of two or more bacterial species in a co-culture system is often overlooked in traditional microbiology. Analysing the behaviour of pathogens as part of a cohort of bacterial species becomes important because when under a high degree of stress or in large populations, bacterial species can develop mutants. However, the factors affecting the course of such social evolution remain unexplored. In this article, we have attempted to systematically study the social interaction in paired and triplet mixed cultures of Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Staphyloco...

Machine Learning-Based Accurate Analysis of cTnI With Alphalisa Immunoassay Enabled Centrifugal Microfluidic System
Cardiac troponin (cTnI) is a biomarker with high sensitivity and specificity for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Rapid and accurate detection of cTnI can effectively reduce the mortality of AMI. Aiming at the problems of complex operation and low sensitivity of traditional methods used to detect cTnI, an Alphalisa immunoassay enabled centrifugal microfluidic system (AIECMS) is designed to detect cTnI quickly with high sensitivity, and good accuracy is achieved in the linear range of 0.1 ng/mL-50 ng/mL. However, in order to realize the detection of hypersensitive cTnI (the definition standard of weak positive and negativ...
