Thanks to its unique features at the nanoscale, nanofluidics, the study and application of
fluid flow in nanochannels/nanopores with at least one characteristic size smaller than 100 …

The dynamic cytoskeletal components, biomolecular motors and their associated filaments,
can be integrated in vitro with synthetic components to enable nanoscale transport systems …

In this review, we summarize the recent developments in the emerging field of bioactuators
across a multitude of length scales. First, we discuss the use and control of biomolecules as …

It is a tough challenge for many decades to decipher the complex relationships between cell
behaviors and cellular physical properties. Single particle tracking (SPT) with high spatial …

This paper describes the fabrication of a composite agar/PDMS device for enriching short
cells in a population of motile Escherichia coli. The device incorporated ratcheting …

Microtubules (MTs), which are cylindrical protein filaments that play crucial roles in
eukaryotic cell functions, have been implicated in electrical signalling as biological …

Microtubules polymerized in vitro and stabilized with paclitaxel (taxol) serve as central
components of hybrid nanodevices and in vitro motility assays. A uniform microtubule length …

Nature uses networks of oriented filaments to guide intracellular movement of cargo. We
describe the first method for designing and constructing interconnected networks of oriented …

Artificial nanotransport systems inspired by intracellular transport processes have been
investigated for over a decade using the motor protein kinesin and microtubules. However …

An immunoassay based on gliding microtubules (MTs) is described for the detection of
staphylococcal enterotoxin B. Detection is performed in a sandwich immunoassay format …
