Leveraging a tissue engineering approach to create microvessels (MVs), we measured real-time permeation flow induced by intraluminal pressures ranging from 0.1 to 2.0 kPa. Our findings reveal that mechanically stimulated MVs strengthen their barrier function within seconds of exposure to pressures below 1 kPa, with this enhanced barrier function persisting for 30 minutes. We demonstrate that this barrier reinforcement is linked to the closure of paracellular gaps. Additionally, we observe that it is associated with, and depends on, actin cytoskeleton reorganization, including the accumulation of stress fibers near intercellular junctions and the broadening of adherence junction protein localization.

However, this approach results in ionic resource consumption for the operating time. In this study, we propose a portable ionic power generator that provides continuous electricity by integrating multi-ionic reverse electrodialysis (MRED) with a passive capillary micropump for electrolyte absorption. The integrated MRED system was fabricated on a portable fluidic chip with optimizations of absorbing performance, electrolyte concentration, and shortcut current regulation attaining maximum potential of 267.45 mV and current of 4.42 mA. Furthermore, consistent and continuous performance for 25 min was achieved by incorporating cotton flow resistors, which modulate the electrolyte absorbing rate at the electrolyte contact region of the pumps. The electric potential was controlled by adjusting the cotton mass inspiring controllable drug release <em>via</em> iontophoresis where high voltage enhances charged drug penetration.

However, the alignment of mesogens is difficult to change after being determined, which limits the diversity of actuation modes. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a facile solvent treatment approach to reversibly change the alignment of mesogens in the polymer network. The as-prepared membrane demonstrates reversible photo-actuation behavior under UV-vis irradiation based on the strong penetration of the solvent into the polymer network, leading to disruption of the original ordered alignment of the mesogen.

Due to this interaction, the actual dose experienced by cells inside OOC devices can differ strongly from the nominal dose. To account for these effects, we have developed a comprehensive model to characterize chemical–PDMS interactions, including partitioning into and diffusion through PDMS. We use these methods to characterize PDMS interactions for 24 chemicals, ranging from fluorescent dyes to persistent organic pollutants to organophosphate pesticides.

DNA storage has emerged as a promising solution, offering substantially greater storage density and durability. However, the current DNA data writing process is costly and labor-intensive, hindering the commercialization of DNA data storage. In this study, we present a digital microfluidics (DMF) platform integrated with E47 DNAzyme ligation chemistry to develop a programmable, cost-effective, and automated DNA data writing process. Our method utilizes pre-synthesized single-stranded DNA as building blocks, which can be assembled into diverse DNA sequences that encode desired data. By employing DNAzymes as biocatalysts, we enable an enzyme-free ligation process at room temperature, significantly reducing costs compared to traditional enzyme-based methods. Our proof-of-concept demonstrates an automated DNA writing process with the reduced reagent input, providing an alternative solution to the high costs associated with current DNA data storage methods. The high specificity of ligation using DNAzymes obviates the need for storing each unique DNA block in its own reservoir, which greatly reduces the total number of reservoirs required to store the starting material. This simplifies the overall layout, and the associated plumbing of the DMF platform. To adapt the conventional column-purification required ligation on the DMF platform, we introduce a DNAzyme-cleavage-assisted bead purification assay. This method employs 17E DNAzymes to cleave and release biotinylated DNA from streptavidin beads, followed by a one-pot ligation with E47 DNAzymes to assemble the desired DNA strands.

Studies indicated that the invasion of cancer cells could be guided by the oriented collagen fibrils, even in a dense matrix characterized by difficulty degradation. So, the orientation of collagen fibrils is closely related to invasion by cancer cells. However, the formation of the orientation of collagen fibrils remains insufficiently studied. A microfluidic chip-based collagen fibril tissue model was established to demonstrate its underlying mechanism. In this article, the dynamic mechanism of collagen fibril reconstruction from free orientation to high orientation was investigated at the mesoscopic dynamic level.

Additionally, enzymes were confirmed as an another inducer to reconstruct the morphology of collagen fibrils, the mechanism of which was chemical degradation and recombination. Interstitial flow combined with an enzyme is an excellent combination for remodeling the distal collagen fibrils of a tumor, and this phenomenon was caught in a microfluidic platform with a micro-dose.
