Microfluidic Devices for Neural and Behavioral Screening of C.Elegans using Electric Field
… sensory-motor processes of C. elegans such as electrotaxis, i.e., response to the electric field (EF) by swimming towards the negative electrode in a polarized system like a microchannel. The current electrotaxis microfluidic devices have a large footprint, low-throughput, and are slow due to …

Development of Microfluidic Platforms for Electric Field-Driven Drug Delivery and Cell Migration
… electric fields on neutrophil electromigration (electrotaxis), which has an application of directing neutrophils away from healthy tissue by suppressing the migration of neutrophils toward pro-inflammatory chemoattractant.

Development of an Injectable Hydrogel Platform to Capture and Eradicate Glioblastoma Cells with Chemical and Physical Stimuli
… such as by integrating electric cues for electrotaxis-directed cell migration, may help to improve the cancer cell trapping capabilities and thereby mitigate GBM tumor recurrences in patients.

Effects of repetitive electroshocking on fish populations in experimental raceways and a small headwater stream in southern West Virginia
… ranges from sensory recognition, through electrotaxis and electronarcosis, to death. This study examined the effects of repetitive electroshocking overtime on population survival, and the effects of mortality on the estimation of population size using single census, multiple censuses and …

Identifying novel therapeutic targets for seizures and brain cancers
Epilepsy describes a range of conditions characterised by unprovoked recurring seizures that are due to multiple factors including the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. A subgroup of patients with epilepsy may not respond to systemic treatment and therefore would become candidates for surgical …

Controlled Migration of Retinal Progenitor Cells Within Electro-Chemotactic Fields
<p>Vision loss in retinal degenerative diseases is overwhelmingly attributed to damage and death of retinal photoreceptor cells. Studies in mouse retina have suggested that transplantation of isolated post-natal or stem cell-derived retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) to replace apoptotic or damaged …
