Water quality monitoring of drinking, waste, continental and seawaters is of great importance to ensure safety and wellbeing for humans, fauna and flora. Researchers are developing robust water monitoring microfluidic ...
Tuning the Properties of Active Microtubule Networks by Depletion Forces
(American Chemical Society, 2021-07-06)
Suspensions of microtubules and nonadsorbing particles form thick and long bundles due to depletion forces. Such interactions act at the nanometer scale and define the structural and dynamical properties of the resulting ...
Light-Powered Reactivation of Flagella and Contraction of Microtubule Networks: Toward Building an Artificial Cell
(American Chemical Society, 2021-06-18)
Artificial systems capable of self-sustained movement with self-sufficient energy are of high interest with respect to the development of many challenging applications, including medical treatments, but also technical ...
Tunable Superparamagnetic Ring (tSPRing) for Droplet Manipulation
Nasirimarekani, Vahid; Benito López, Fernando ; Basabe Desmonts, Lourdes (Wiley-VCH, 2021-05-13)
; Basabe Desmonts, Lourdes (Wiley-VCH, 2021-05-13)
The manipulation of droplets by magnetic field forms the basis of a fascinating technology that is currently in development. Often, the movement of droplets with magnets involves adding magnetic particles in or around the ...

[EN] Biocompatible magnetic hydrogels provide a great source of synthetic materials, which facilitate remote stimuli, enabling safer biological and environmental applications. Prominently, the ex situ and in situ magnetic ...
Organic Bioelectronics for In Vitro Systems
(American Chemical Society, 2022-04)
[EN] Bioelectronics have made strides in improving clinical diagnostics and precision medicine. The potential of bioelectronics for bidirectional interfacing with biology through continuous, label-free monitoring on one ...
Viral metagenomic analysis of feces of wild small carnivores
Bodewes, Rogier; Ruiz González, Aritz ; Schapendonk, Claudia ME; Van den Brand, Judith MA; Osterhaus, Albert DME; Smits, Saskia L. (Biomed Central, 2014-05-15)
; Schapendonk, Claudia ME; Van den Brand, Judith MA; Osterhaus, Albert DME; Smits, Saskia L. (Biomed Central, 2014-05-15)
Background: Recent studies have clearly demonstrated the enormous virus diversity that exists among wild animals. This exemplifies the required expansion of our knowledge of the virus diversity present in wildlife, as well ...
eDNA Metabarcoding for Biodiversity Assessment, Generalist Predators As Sampling Assistants
Norgaard, Louise; Olesen, Carsten Riis; Trojelsgaard, Kristian; Pertoldi, Cino; Nielsen, Jeppe Lund; Taberlet, Pierre; Ruiz González, Aritz ; De Barba, Marta; Iacolina, Laura (Springer, 2021-03-25)
; De Barba, Marta; Iacolina, Laura (Springer, 2021-03-25)
With an accelerating negative impact of anthropogenic actions on natural ecosystems, non-invasive biodiversity assessments are becoming increasingly crucial. As a consequence, the interest in the application of environmental ...
