This paper is focused on the development of a six-stage cascade paramagnetic mode magnetophoretic separation (PMMS) system for separating suspended cells in blood based on their native magnetic properties. The design and fabrication of a PMMS system are presented and the microfluidic separation system is characterized experimentally using human whole blood as the case study. The PMMS system can separate blood cells types continuously using the magnetophoretic force produced from a high magnetic field gradient without magnetic or fluorescent tagging. Experimental results demonstrated that red blood cell separation in the PMMS system at a volumetric flow rate of 28.8 microL/hr, resulting in a separation time of 10.4 min for a 5.0 microL blood sample with a separation efficiency of 89.5 +/- 0.20%. The PMMS system was tested at higher volumetric flow rates of 50.4 microL/hr and 72.0 microL/hr. The measured separation efficiencies were 86.2 +/- 1.60% and 59.9 +/- 6.06% respectively.

Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination, Islamabad, Pakistan.
Background: Pakistan has experienced a significant reduction in maternal mortality with a decline of 33 percent between 2006 and 2019. However, the country still grapples with a high number (186 per 100,000 live births) of maternal deaths each year. This study aims to identify socio-demographic and health system related factors associated with maternal mortality.

Immunological adjuvants are vaccine components that enhance long-lasting adaptive immune responses to weakly immunogenic antigens. Monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) is a potent and safe vaccine adjuvant that initiates an early innate immune response by binding to the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Importantly, the binding and recognition process is highly dependent on the monomeric state of MPLA.

Unidirectional photochemically driven molecular motors (PMMs) convert the energy of absorbed light into continuous rotational motion. As such they are key components in the design of molecular machines. The prototypical and most widely employed class of PMMs is the overcrowded alkenes, where rotational motion is driven by successive photoisomerization and thermal helix inversion steps.

With high reconfigurability and swarming intelligence, programmable medical micromachines (PMMs) represent a revolution in microrobots for executing complex coordinated tasks, especially for dynamic routing of various targets along their respective routes. However, it is difficult to achieve a biocompatible implantation into the body due to their exogenous building blocks. Herein, a living microrouter based on an organic integration of endogenous red blood cells (RBCs), programmable scanning optical tweezers and flexible optofluidic strategy is reported.
