Femtosecond laser pulses for chemical-free embryonic and mesenchymal stem cell differentiation

Author: Mthunzi-Kufa, Patience ; Dholakia, K ; Gunn-Moore, F Date: Aug 2011 Owing to their self renewal and pluripotency properties, stem cells can efficiently advance current therapies in tissue regeneration and/or engineering. Under appropriate culture conditions in vitro, pluripotent stem cells can be primed to ... Read more
Intracellular dielectric tagging for improved optical manipulation of mammalian cells

Author: Mthunzi-Kufa, Patience ; Lee, WM ; Riches, AC ; Brown, CTA ; Gunn-Moore, FJ ; Dholakia, K Date: May 2010 Optical micromanipulation of transparent microparticles such as cellularmaterials relies upon the application of optical forces that are crucially dependent on the refractive index contrast between the particle and the surrounding medium. We ... Read more
Optical chromatography using a photonic crystal fiber with on-chip fluorescence excitation

Author: Ashok, AC ; Marchington, RF ; Mthunzi-Kufa, Patience ; Krauss, TF ; Dholakia, K Date: Mar 2010 The authors describe the realization of integrated optical chromatography, in conjunction with on-chip fluorescence excitation, in a monolithically fabricated poly-dimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic chip. The unique endlessly-single-mode ... Read more
Photo-transfection and selective optical differentiation of embryonic stem cells

Author: Mthunzi-Kufa, Patience ; Gunn-Moore, F ; Dholakia, K Date: Sep 2010 Due to their self-renewal and pluripotency characteristics, stem cells possess the potential to dramatically advance current therapies in tissue regeneration and engineering. In this work, we report for the first time that femtosecond laser ... Read more
Photo-transfection of mammalian cells via femtosecond laser pulses

Author: Mthunzi-Kufa, Patience ; Gunn-Moore, FJ ; Dholakia, K Date: Jun 2009 Various methods including chemical, viral or physical approaches have been developed to trigger transient membrane permeabilisation with limited cytotocixity in cells. Such developments permit efficient cytoplasmic delivery of genes, ... Read more
Phototransfection of mammalian cells using femtosecond laser pulses: optimization and applicability to stem cell differentiation

Author: Mthunzi-Kufa, Patience ; Dholakia, K ; Gunn-Moore, F Date: Jul 2010 Recently, femtosecond laser pulses have been utilized for the targeted introduction of genetic matter into mammalian cells. This rapidly expanding and developing novel optical technique using a tightly focused laser light beam is called ... Read more
