Photodetectors are generally the most promising, representative and widely-used type of detectors, and the applications of photodetectors are quite extensively. Photodetectors are made of photosensitive elements which are able to turn the light signal into electrical signal. Owing to the nature of fast responding speed and capability of large volume manufacturing, it provides photodetectors an advantageous future in biomedical sensing territory. This study focuses on fabrication method of the flexible photodetectors and application to biomolecule sensing through luminescence. The photosensitive element is based on silicon wafer which is treated with chemical etching process to achieve pliable characteristic. Then, the metal-semiconductor-metal structural flexible photodetectors are achieved after integrated with simple fabricating processes. The accomplished devices are handled with immobilization steps to fix the target enzyme which is able to catalyze the luminescent reaction. We provide a portable biomolecule sensor with outstanding flexible characteristic and high sensitivity and it exhibits illustrious stable consequence in various situations.

Photodetectors are generally the most promising, representative and widely-used type of detectors, and the applications of photodetectors are quite extensively[1-3]. Basically photodetectors are made of photosensitive elements which are able to turn the light signal into electrical signal. Nowadays, the detecting wavelength region is very broad and can be classified into infrared, visible light and ultraviolet zone; furthermore, the applications of each region are manifold especially in visible light region. Additionally owing to the nature of fast responding speed, it promises photodetectors an advantageous future in biomedical sensing territory[4-5]. This study is focus on fabrication method of the flexible[6-8] photodetectors and application to biomolecule sensing through luminescence. The photosensitive element is based on single crystalline silicon semiconductor material which is treated with chemical etching process to achieve pliable characteristic[9]. Then, the metal-semiconductor-metal[10-14]structural flexible photodetectors are achieved after integrated with simple fabricating processes. In detail, the accomplished devices are handled with immobilization steps to fix the target enzyme which is able to catalyze the luminescent reaction (Fig.1). Owing to only extremely stable sensor for biomedical use, it is necessary to ensure the operation function at any crucial conditions. In this study, we provide a portable biomolecule sensor with outstanding flexible characteristic and high sensitivity and it exhibits illustrious stable consequence in various situations.

Frequent and accurate measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) is required in monitoring patients who are at high risk of developing glaucoma. We present a novel electronic-free, wireless, optomechanical implantable IOP microsensor. The microsensor has a total volume of less than 1mm~3 and is integrated into a keratoprosthesis (KPro). We performed ex-vivo experiments by implanting the microsensor/KPro assembly into human eyebank globes for two weeks. Our microsensor had 2 mmHg accuracy and less than 1 mmHg zero-drift.

Differentiated neurons (dorsal root ganglia and cortical neurons) have been shown to develop longer neurite extensions on softer materials than stiffer ones, but previous studies do not address the ability of neural stem cells to undergo differentiation as a result of material elasticity. In this study, we investigate neuronal differentiation of C17.2 neural stem cells due to growth on polyacrylamide gels of variable elastic moduli. Neurite growth, synapse formation, and mode of division (asymmetric vs. symmetric) were all assessed to characterize differentiation. C17.2 neural stem cells were seeded onto polyacrylamide gels coated with Type I collagen. The cells were then serum starved over a 14 day period, fixed, and analyzed for biochemical markers of differentiation. For division studies, time-lapse imaging of cells on various substrates was performed during serum withdrawal using the Nikon Biostation. Division events were analyzed using ImageJ to quantify sizes of resulting daughter. Data shows that C17.2 cell differentiation (as dictated by number and type of division events) is dependent upon substrate stiffness, with softer polyacrylamide surfaces (140 Pa) leading to increased populations of neurons and increased neurite length. Our data also indicates that the ability of neural stem cells to express synaptic proteins and develop synapses is dependent upon material elasticity.
