    摘要: A protein patterning electrode device consisting of capacitor microelectrode arrays coated with a protein non-adherent layer is provided. Operation of the electrode is based on a phenomenon called “electrowetting,” where surface wettability can dynamically be controlled by varying the voltage across the device electrodes. When an electric field is applied across the electrode layers, the surface accumulates charge and becomes hydrophilic, binding the proteins to the surface via ionic bonding. Electrically controlling the amount of the surface charge permits controlled protein surface affinity. The device provides a means for reconfigurable protein patterning.

    摘要: An optical device is described that may be used as a microscope system for real-time, three-dimensional optical imaging. The device includes a miniature, fiber optic, intra-vital probe microscope that uses a dual-axes confocal architecture to allow for vertical scanning perpendicular to a surface of the sample (e.g., a tissue surface). The optical device can use off-axis illumination and collection of light to achieve sub-cellular resolution with deep tissue penetration. The optical device may be used as part of an integrated molecular imaging strategy using fluorescence-labeled peptides to detect cell surface targets that are up-regulated by the epithelium and/or endothelium of colon and breast tumors in small animal models of cancer.
