From intracellular signaling to population oscillations: bridging size- and time-scales in collective behavior
TL;DR: Through direct tests of the model with quantitative in vivo measurements of single‐cell and population signaling dynamics, it is shown how a simple model can effectively describe a complex molecular signaling network at multiple size and temporal scales.
Thermoelectric manipulation of aqueous droplets in microfluidic devices.
TL;DR: A method for manipulating the temperature inside aqueous droplets, utilizing a thermoelectric cooler to control the temperature of select portions of a microfluidic chip for a variety of droplet-related applications, such as freezing, temperature cycling, sample archiving, and controlling reaction kinetics is described.

TL;DR: Empirical evidence of naturally occurring heritable variation in loner behavior in the model social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is provided and it is predicted that when a pair of strains differing in their partitioning behavior coaggregate, cross-signaling impacts slime-mold diversity across spatiotemporal scales.
Label-free imaging of fibroblast membrane interfaces and protein signatures with vibrational infrared photothermal and phase signals.

TL;DR: It is presented that the detectability of nano-sized cell membranes is enhanced to well below the optical diffraction limit since the membranes are found to act as thermal barriers.

Single-axonal organelle analysis method reveals new protein-motor associations.
TL;DR: A microfluidic chip designed to physically isolate axons from dendrites and cell bodies is fabricated and a method to remove bulk axonal samples and label their contents is developed and shows that KIF1A also transports SV2A- and VAMP2-containing carrier vesicles.
