Abstract: "Solid Oxide Fuel Cells are high temperature, solid-state, electrochemical devices that can convert fuels into electricity or produce fuels from excess electricity. Oxygen is reduced at the cathode to oxygen ions which move through the ceramic to the anode. These oxygen ions are used to oxidize fuels at the anode compartment, producing heat and […]

Abstract: "As thrombosis proceeds, platelets in a clot can expose phosphatidylserine (PS), providing a negatively charged surface for thrombin generation. These PS+ platelets have been shown to sort to the perimeter of platelet masses via platelet contraction. However, it remains unclear how thrombin and fibrin affect PS+ platelet sorting within a clot. We used an […]
Abstract: "Hemostatic clots have a core/shell hierarchy comprised of a P-selectin positive core surrounded by a P-selectin negative shell. A new human blood microfluidic assay utilizing a 2-stage assay was developed to interrogate core/shell mechanics. By first perfusing whole blood over a collagen/TF surface and then swapping out the blood for buffer, we were able […]
