Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that rats with injuries to two discs (DP-2) experienced more prolonged and extensive sensitivity to pressure and touch compared to those with a single disc injury (DP-1) or sham-operated rats.
- * The findings suggest that injuries to multiple discs lead to worse pain and discomfort, potentially influenced by higher levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα).
Capillary assembly of liquid particles (CALP) is a microfabrication strategy for engineering arbitrarily shaped polymer colloids. The method entails depositing emulsion particles into patterned microarrays within a fluidic cell: coalescence, polymerization, and extraction of the deposited material engender faceted colloids. Herein, the versatility of CALP is demonstrated by using both consecutive assembly and heterogeneous coassembly to engineer geometrically diverse Janus and patchy colloids.

Liquid particles (LPs), comprised of oligomerized 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate, are herein shown to deposit into patterned cavities via capillary assembly. In contrast to solid colloids, LPs coalesce upon solvent evaporation and assume the geometry of the template.
