Publication number: 20220097067Abstract: This invention generally relates to systems and methods for the formation and/or control of fluidic species, and articles produced by such systems and methods. In some cases, the invention involves unique fluid channels, systems, controls, and/or restrictions, and combinations thereof. In certain embodiments, the invention allows fluidic streams (which can be continuous or discontinuous, i.e., droplets) to be formed and/or combined, at a variety of scales, including microfluidic scales. In one set of embodiments, a fluidic stream may be produced from a channel, where a cross-sectional dimension of the fluidic stream is smaller than that of the channel, for example, through the use of structural elements, other fluids, and/or applied external fields, etc. In some cases, a Taylor cone may be produced.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2021Publication date: March 31, 2022Applicant: President and Fellows of Harvard CollegeInventors: David A. Weitz, Darren Roy Link, Manuel Marquez-Sanchez, Zhengdong Cheng

Publication number: 20180346873Abstract: A micro-scale artificial gland is disclosed in the form of an independent unit for promoting biological activity. The artificial gland includes cells formed in a membrane enclosing a reservoir. The reservoir is a bio-reactor capable of containing a product of activity of the cells. The reservoir comprises a gas, a liquid, and a gel and preferably also contains nanoparticles, a buffer, a surfactant, and, a gel precursor. The reservoir may also contain cells. Nanoparticles may also surround the artificial gland to form a protective coating. A variety of methods are disclosed for making the artificial gland by directed assembly of cells into the artificial micro-gland by gel, liquid or bubble templating. All involve coating the surface of gel, droplet or bubble with the living cells and the stabilizing the cells on the surface of gels, droplets or bubbles.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2018Publication date: December 6, 2018Applicant: YNANO, LLCInventors: Manuel Marquez, Samantha M.

Publication number: 20180340151Abstract: A method is disclosed for making an artificial micro-gland having a continuous anisotropic membrane of two or more types of living cells. A first step includes forming a carrier fluid in a microchannel in a laminar flow of two distinct fluid flows. Another step includes introducing a template, which may itself be anisotropic, into the microchannel in a manner such that the template straddles the interface between the first fluid-flow and the second fluid-flow. In some embodiments two types of living cells within the template are separately attracted one of the fluid flows by the presence of an agent of taxis. In other embodiments, cells within one or the other of the fluid flows are attracted to agents within the template. Membranes form on the template and join together to form a complete cellular membrane around a reservoir.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2017Publication date: November 29, 2018Inventors: Manuel Marquez, Samantha M.

Publication number: 20170275584Abstract: A method is used for making an artificial micro-gland by taxis. A monodisperse multiple emulsion is produced with a first fluid; a second fluid confined within the first fluid; a third fluid within the second fluid. Interfaces between the fluids permit living cells dispersed in the one of the fluids to migrate towards an adjacent fluid having a different concentration of an agent affecting the metabolic activity of the living cells. Waiting, usually about 30 minutes, allows the living cells to migrate to the interface, forming the continuous membrane. Once formed, the artificial micro-gland is removed from the remains of the emulsion. The artificial micro-gland may also be given a second layer of different cells when the emission of the cells of the artificial micro-gland is used as the agent to attract the different cells. The method may also be used to produce an artificial micro-gland within an artificial micro-gland.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2017Publication date: September 28, 2017Inventors: Manuel Marquez, Samantha M.
