    Abstract The precise electroencephalogram (EEG) signal classification with the highest possible accuracy is a key goal in the brain-computer interface (BCI). Considering the complexity and nonstationary nature of the EEG signals, there is an urgent need for effective feature extraction and data mining techniques. Here, we introduce a novel pipeline based on Bat and genetic algorithms for feature construction and dimension reduction of EEG signals. After wavelet extraction and segmentation, the Bat algorithm identifies the most relevant features. We use these features and a genetic algorithm combined with a neural network method to automatically classify the segments of the epilepsy EEG signals. We also use available classification methods based on k-Nearest Neighbors or naïve Bayes for comparison purposes. The code distinguishes individual signals within various combinations of data obtained from healthy volunteers with open or closed eyes and patients suffering from epilepsy disorders during seizure-free periods or seizure activities. Compared to the previously introduced methods, our proposed framework demonstrates a superior balance of high accuracy and short runtime. The minimum achieved accuracies for balanced and unbalanced classes are 100% and 75.9%, respectively. This approach has the potential for direct applications in clinics, enabling accurate and rapid analysis of the epilepsy EEG signals obtained from patients.

    Abstract Single-cell analysis is an emerging discipline that has shown a transformative impact in cell biology in the last decade. Progress in this field requires systems capable of accurately moving the cells and particles in a controlled manner. Here, we present a microfluidic platform equipped with C-shaped magnetic thin films to precisely transport magnetic particles in a tri-axial rotating magnetic field. This innovative system, compared to the other rivals, offers numerous advantages. The magnetic particles repel each other to prevent undesired cluster formation. Many particles move synced with the external rotating magnetic field, which results in highly parallel controlled particle transport. We show that the particle transport in this system is analogous to electron transport and Ohm's law in electrical circuits. The proposed magnetic transport pattern is carefully studied using both simulations and experiments for various parameters, including the magnetic field characteristics, particle size, and gap size in the design. We demonstrate the appropriate transport of both magnetic beads and magnetized living cells. We also show a pilot mRNA-capturing experiment with barcode-carrying magnetic beads. The introduced chip offers fundamental potential applications in the fields of single-cell biology and bioengineering.

    Abstract Single-cell RNA sequencing is a high-throughput novel method that provides transcriptional profiling of individual cells within biological samples. This method typically uses microfluidics systems to uncover the complex intercellular communication networks and biological pathways buried within highly heterogeneous cell populations in tissues. One important application of this technology sits in the fields of organ and stem cell transplantation, where complications such as graft rejection and other post-transplantation life-threatening issues may occur. In this review, we first focus on research in which single-cell RNA sequencing is used to study the transcriptional profile of transplanted tissues. This technology enables the analysis of the donor and recipient cells and identifies cell types and states associated with transplant complications and pathologies. We also review the use of single-cell RNA sequencing in stem cell implantation. This method enables studying the heterogeneity of normal and pathological stem cells and the heterogeneity in cell populations. With their remarkably rapid pace, the single-cell RNA sequencing methodologies will potentially result in breakthroughs in clinical transplantation in the coming years.

    Abstract Precise manipulation of microparticles have fundamental applications in the fields of lab-on-a-chip and biomedical engineering. Here, for the first time, we propose a fully operational microfluidic chip equipped with thin magnetic films composed of straight tracks and bends which precisely transports numerous single-particles in the size range of ~ 2.8-20 µm simultaneously, to certain points, synced with the general external three-axial magnetic field. The uniqueness of this design arises from the introduced vertical bias field that provides a repulsion force between the particles and prevents unwanted particle cluster formation, which is a challenge in devices operating in two-dimensional fields. Furthermore, the chip operates as an accurate sensor and detects low levels of proteins and DNA fragments, being captured by the ligand-functionalized magnetic beads, while lowering the background noise by excluding the unwanted bead pairs seen in the previous works. The image-processing detection method in this work allows detection at the single-pair resolution, increasing the sensitivity. The proposed device offers high-throughput particle transport and ultra-sensitive bio-detection in a highly parallel manner at single-particle resolution. It can also operate as a robust single-cell analysis platform for manipulating magnetized single-cells and assembling them in large arrays, with important applications in biology.

    Abstract Precise manipulation of single particles is one of the main goals in the lab-on-a-chip field. Here, we present a microfluidic platform with "T" and "I" shaped magnetic tracks on the substrate to transport magnetic particles and magnetized cells in a tri-axial time-varying magnetic field. The driving magnetic field is composed of a vertical field bias and an in-plane rotating field component, with the advantage of lowering the attraction tendency and cluster formation between the particles compared to the traditional magnetophoretic circuits. We demonstrate three fundamental achievements. First, all the particle movements are synced with the external rotating field to achieve precise control over individual particles. Second, single-particle and single living cell transport in a controlled fashion is achieved for a large number of them in parallel, without the need for a complicated control system to send signals to individual particles. We carefully study the proposed design and introduce proper operating parameters. Finally, in addition to moving the particles along straight tracks, transporting them using a ∼60° bend is demonstrated. The proposed chip has direct applications in the fields of lab-on-a-chip, single-cell biology, and drug screening, where precise control over single particles is needed.

    Abstract Lab-on-a-chip tools have played a pivotal role in advancing modern biology and medicine. A key goal in this field is to precisely transport single particles and cells to specific locations on a chip for quantitative analysis. To address this large and growing need, magnetophoretic circuits have been developed in the last decade to manipulate a large number of single bioparticles in a parallel and highly controlled manner. Inspired by electrical circuits, magnetophoretic circuits are composed of passive and active circuit elements to offer commensurate levels of control and automation for transporting individual bioparticles. These specifications make them unique compared to other technologies in addressing crucial bioanalytical applications and answering fundamental questions buried in highly heterogeneous cell populations. In this comprehensive review, we describe key theoretical considerations for manufacturing and simulating magnetophoretic circuits. We provide a detailed tutorial for operating magnetophoretic devices containing different circuit elements (e.g., conductors, diodes, capacitors, and transistors). Finally, we provide a critical comparison of the utility of these devices to other microchip-based platforms for cellular manipulation, and discuss how they may address unmet needs in single-cell biology and medicine.

    Abstract Precise positioning of magnetic particles and magnetized cells in lab-on-a-chip systems has attracted broad attention. Recently, drawing inspiration from electrical circuits, we have demonstrated a magnetic particle transport platform composed of patterned magnetic thin films in a microfluidic environment, which accurately moves the particles and single cells to specific spots, called capacitors. However, we have made no prior attempts to optimize the capacitor geometry. Here, we carefully analyze various design parameters and their effect on capacitor operation. We run simulations based on finite element methods and stochastic numerical analysis using our semi-analytical model. We then perform the required experiments to study the loading efficiency of capacitors with different geometries for magnetic particles of multiple sizes. Our experimental results agree well with the design criteria we developed based on our simulation results. We also show the capability of designed capacitors in storing the magnetically labeled cells and illustrate using them in a pilot drug screening application. These results are directly applicable to the design of robust platforms capable of transporting and assembling a large number of single particles and single cells in arrays, which are useful in the emerging field of single-cell analysis.

    Abstract The use of magnetic micro- and nanoparticles in medicine and biology is expanding. One important example is the transport of magnetic microparticles and magnetized cells in lab-on-a-chip systems. The magnetic susceptibility of the particles is a key factor in determining their response to the externally applied magnetic field. Typically, to measure this parameter, their magnetophoretic mobility is studied. However, the particle tracking system for accurately determining the traveled distance in a certain time may be too complicated. Here, we introduce a lithographically fabricated chip composed of an array of thin magnetic micro-disks for evaluating the magnetic susceptibility of numerous individual magnetic particles simultaneously. The proposed novel magnetometer works based on the phase change in the trajectory of microparticles circulating around the disks in a rotating in-plane magnetic field. We explain that the easily detectable transition between the "phase-locked" and the "phase-slipping" regimes and the frequency at which it happens are appropriate parameters for measuring the magnetic susceptibility of the magnetic particles at the single-particle level. We show that this high-throughput (

    Abstract Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is one of the seven known coronaviruses infecting humans; HKU1, 229E, NL63, OC43, Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and SARS-CoV-2, the last three of which can cause severe symptoms in patients. COVID-19, previously known as 2019 novel coronavirus, caused by SARS-CoV-2, was first reported in Wuhan, China, in late 2019, and quickly resulted in a major epidemic across the world. Although the origin of SARS-CoV-2 is not clear yet, genome sequencing results suggest that this is the third reported spillover of an animal coronavirus to humans, from 2002. The development of detection, therapeutic, and prevention strategies for COVID-19 is a fundamental task towards curing infected people and competing with the pandemic. Because of their similarities, scientists believe that treatment/ detection methods similar to what were used against the illnesses caused by SARS-CoV or MERS-CoV may be effective for curing/detecting COVID-19. Here, we review the recent nanotechnology techniques used for treating and testing SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2, and potential therapeutic options for curing COVID-19. This patent summarizes the recent findings of advances on Nanotechnologies against Coronavirus.
