    摘要: Methods are provide for fabricating a microchip device having containment reservoirs. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a substrate; forming a plurality of reservoirs in the substrate, each reservoir having an opening in a surface of the substrate; fabricating a plurality of metal reservoir caps, each of which closes off one of said openings; and sealing each of said reservoirs. The method may further include loading chemical molecules, such a drug, into each of said reservoirs before said sealing of the reservoirs.

    摘要: Antimicrobial peptides enable an alternate approach to developing antimicrobial coatings due to their targeting of the membranes of the bacteria. High specific activity is achieved by orienting the peptides so that the antimicrobial ends of the peptides maximally contact the bacteria. In one embodiment, one end of the peptide is covalently attached directly to the substrate. In another embodiment, the peptides are immobilized on the substrate using a coupling agent or tether. Non-covalent methods include coating the peptide onto the substrate or physiochemically immobilizing the peptides on the substrate using highly specific interactions, such as the biotin/avidin or streptavidin system. The compositions are substantially non-leaching, antifouling, and non-hemolytic. The immobilized peptides retain sufficient flexibility and mobility to interact with and de endocytosed by the bacteria, viruses, and/or fungi upon exposure. Immobilizing the peptides to the substrate reduces concerns regarding toxicity of the peptides and the development of antimicrobial resistance, while presenting substantially all of the peptide at the site of action at the surface of the substrate.

    摘要: In one embodiment, the present invention is a substrate system of photopolymerizable monomers and bioactive molecules admixed with the monomers and shielded from the monomers by an insoluble material that undergoes a solid-gel transition at body temperature. Upon polymerization, the monomers produce a cross-linked structure and the shielded bioactive molecules are protected from attack in the polymerized environment. In different aspects, the substrate system is used for drug delivery and tissue engineering and protection of enzymes, proteins and growth factors. In another embodiment, the present invention is a drug delivery system of photopolymerizable monomers, drug molecules associated with the monomers and shielded from the monomers by an insoluble material that undergoes a solid-gel transition at body temperature, and a photopolymerizing means for polymerizing the monomers to produce a cross-linked structure including the drug molecules.
