XPS and AFM analysis of antifouling PEG interfaces for microfabricated silicon biosensors
TL;DR: Results indicated that PEG interfaces created in this investigation are appropriate for biosensors with micro- and nano-scale features, and are efficient in controlling protein fouling.

Layer-by-layer microfluidics for biomimetic three-dimensional structures
Wei Tan,Tejal A. Desai +1 more
TL;DR: A versatile technique, combining surface engineering with layer-by-layer microfluidics technology, to create a 3-D microscale hierarchical tissue-like structure that provides solutions to fabricate hierarchical "neotissues" with controlled microarchitectures and3-D configurations of multiple cell types.

Evaluation of the stability of nonfouling ultrathin poly(ethylene glycol) films for silicon-based microdevices.
TL;DR: Investigation of the stability of covalently coupled ultrathin PEG films on silicon in aqueous in vivo like conditions for a period of 4 weeks suggests that the PEG-modified surfaces retain their protein and cell repulsive nature even though the P EG film thickness decreases for the period of investigation.

Characterization of micromachined silicon membranes for immunoisolation and bioseparation applications
TL;DR: The semipermeability of microfabricated membranes, their biocompatibility, ease in sterilization, along with their thermal and chemical stability, may provide a significant advantages for biomedical applications.

Nanoporous anti-fouling silicon membranes for biosensor applications.
TL;DR: Results indicate that micromachined silicon membranes can be fabricated with uniform pore sizes capable of the simultaneous exclusion of albumin and diffusion of glucose, and point to the potential of using such membranes for implantable biosensor applications.
