On-chip analysis of C. elegans muscular forces and locomotion patterns in microstructured environments
TL;DR: The quantitative measurements demonstrated in this work further improve the understanding of C. elegans mechanosensation and locomotion and show that, by inverting the measurement device, worm locomotion behaviour can be studied in various substrate environments normally unconducive to flexible pillar fabrication.
A micropillar-based on-chip system for continuous force measurement of C. elegans
TL;DR: A micropillar-based on-chip system which is capable of quantifying multi-point locomotive forces of a moving C. elegans and worm muscle development can be an enabling technology that allows biologist to gain a better understanding of subtle force patterns of C. elegans.

A Simple Approach to Patterned Protein Immobilization on Silicon via Electrografting from Diazonium Salt Solutions
TL;DR: A highly versatile method utilizing diazonium salt chemistry has been developed for the fabrication of protein arrays using micrometer sized regions into a commercial photoresist on a highly doped p-type silicon (100) substrate.
Towards Point-of-Care Insulin Detection.
TL;DR: This review summarizes current insulin detection methods from immunoassays to analytical chemistry, and sensors and discusses the challenges and potential of each of the methods towards Point-of-Care insulin detection.

An elastomeric micropillar platform for the study of protrusive forces in hyphal invasion.
TL;DR: A lab-on-a-chip platform with integrated force-sensors based on elastomeric polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) micro-pillars provides a useful tool to begin to unravel the molecular mechanisms that underlie the generation of a protrusive force.
