Joshi, S. (author), Savov, A.M. (author), Dekker, R. (author)This paper focuses on the implementation of a new technique for the fabrication of stretchable electronic patches that can be used for medical applications. The technique is based on the Electronics on Plastics by Laser Release (EPlaR) technology which enables a one-step release of a stack of flexible/stretchable layers incorporating the active...journal article 2016

Stoute, R. (author), Louwerse, M.C. (author), Henneken, VA (author), Dekker, R. (author)Minimally invasive surgery of the most lethal disease worldwide, coronary artery disease, benefits from better diagnostic tools during the treatment. With this in mind, a novel concept is introduced for intravascular ultrasound on a 360 μm diameter guidewire. The complex manufacture of this medical instrument, and other devices that require...journal article 2016

Gaio, N. (author), Silvestri, C. (author), van Meer, B.J. (author), Vollebregt, S. (author), Mummery, CL (author), Dekker, R. (author)Microelectrode arrays (MEAs) are widely used in biological application to locally stimulate and record the electrical activity of living cells. Here, a novel fabrication process for a carbon nanotube (CNT)-based MEA integrated on the backside of a free standing stretchable membrane is reported. The new<br/>process flow overcomes the manually...journal article 2016

Kim, S.H. (author), Vlijm, R. (author), van der Torre, J. (author), Dalal, Y. (author), Dekker, C. (author)Centromere-specific nucleosomes are a central feature of the kinetochore complex during mitosis, in which microtubules exert pulling and pushing forces upon the centromere. CENP-A nucleosomes have been assumed to be structurally unique, thereby providing resilience under tension relative to their H3 canonical counterparts. Here, we directly test...journal article 2016

Deshpande, S.R. (author), Caspi, Y. (author), Meijering, A.E.C. (author), Dekker, C. (author)Liposomes are versatile supramolecular assemblies widely used in basic and applied sciences. Here we present a novel microfluidics-based method, octanol-assisted liposome assembly (OLA), to form monodisperse, cell-sized (5–20 μm), unilamellar liposomes with excellent encapsulation efficiency. Akin to bubble blowing, an inner aqueous phase and a...journal article 2016

Vlijm, R. (author), Torre, J. (author), Dekker, C. (author)The metabolism of DNA in cells relies on the balance between hybridized double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and local de-hybridized regions of ssDNA that provide access to binding proteins. Traditional melting experiments, in which short pieces of dsDNA are heated up until the point of melting into ssDNA, have determined that AT-rich sequences have a...journal article 2015

Vlijm, R. (author), Lee, M. (author), Ordu, O. (author), Boltengagen, A. (author), Lusser, A. (author), Dekker, N.H. (author), Dekker, C. (author)Eukaryotic nucleosomes consists of an (H3-H4)2 tetramer and two H2A-H2B dimers, around which 147 bp of DNA are wrapped in 1.7 left-handed helical turns. During chromatin assembly, the (H3-H4)2 tetramer binds first, forming a tetrasome that likely constitutes an important intermediate during ongoing transcription. We recently showed that (H3-H4)2...journal article 2015

Vervoorn, R.R.E. (author), Dekker, H.R.E. (author)Rijkswaterstaat has recently stated that the use of GeoRM is obligatory for projects with major geotechnical risks. Underground construction of freeway's in high-profile areas, such as the business district Zuidas in Amsterdam or railway links in densely populated areas, always introduce major geotechnical risks. It is not uncommon for these...conference paper 2015

Plesa, C. (author), Van Loo, N. (author), Dekker, C. (author)Nanopore experiments have traditionally been carried out with chloride-based solutions. Here we introduce silver/silver-glutamate-based electrochemistry as an alternative, and study the viscosity, conductivity, and nanopore translocation characteristics of potassium-, sodium-, and lithium-glutamate solutions. We show that it has a linear...journal article 2015

Hol, F.J.H. (author), Galajda, P. (author), Woolthuis, R.G. (author), Dekker, C. (author), Keymer, J.E. (author)Background The spatial structure of a habitat can have a strong impact on community dynamics. Different experimental approaches exist to explore the effect of spatial structure on bacterial communities. To investigate the effect of ‘space’, a single implementation of spatial structure is often contrasted to bacterial community dynamics in well...journal article 2015
