Laser patterning on polymeric materials is considered a green and rapid manufacturing
process with low material selection barrier and high adjustability. Unlike …

Stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment play a key role in the metastatic properties of a
tumor. It is recognized that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and endothelial cells …

A microcompressor is a precision mechanical device that flattens and immobilizes living
cells and small organisms for optical microscopy, allowing enhanced visualization of sub …

A tunable nanofiber filter device can include a filter housing defining an interior space, the
housing having defined therein and inlet and an outlet, each in fluid communication with the …

Microfluidic devices can provide unique control over both the chemoattractant gradient and
the migration environment of the cells. Our work incorporates laser-machined micro and …

Recent advances in manufacturing techniques have opened up new interest in rapid
prototy** at the microscale. Traditionally microscale devices are fabricated using …

Laser micromachining has been used as an alternative to producing microfluidics structures
and simplifying the conventional soft lithography process. In this paper we characterize the …

The authors characterize femtosecond laser single-pulse machining of deep, micrometer-
diameter holes and long, micrometer-width channels in fused silica by the use of spherical …

Folic acid (or folate, FA) has attracted considerable attention for cancer therapy. As one
small molecule, its receptor (folate receptor, FR) is significantly overexpressed on the …

Femtosecond (fs) laser beams may be shaped into Bessel beam (BB) profiles by spatial light
modulators or axicon lenses. Temporally resha** laser pulses by chir** and stretching …
