Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Amyloid beta oligomers (AβO) are pivotal in Alzheimer's Disease (AD), cleared by microglia cells, as immune cells in the brain. Microglia cells exposed to AβO are involved with migration, apoptosis, phagocytosis, and activated microglial receptors through AβO, impacting cellular mechanobiological characteristics such as microglial adhesion strength to the underlying substrate. Herein, a label-free microfluidic device was used to detect advancing AD conditions with increasing AβO concentrations on microglia BV2 cells by quantitatively comparing the cell-substrate adhesion. The microfluidic device, acting as an AD model, comprises a single channel, which functions as a cell adhesion assay. To assess cell-substrate adhesion under different AβO concentrations of 1 µM, 2.5 µM, and 5 µM, the number of the cells attached to the substrate was counted by real-time microscopy when the cells were under the flow shear stress of 3 Pa and 7.5 Pa corresponding to Reynolds number (Re) of 10 and 25, respectively. The data showed that quantifying the cell-substrate adhesion using the microfluidic device could successfully identify conditions of advancing AβO concentrations. Our findings indicated that the increased incubation time with AβO caused reduced cell-substrate adhesion strength. Additionally, increased AβO concentration was another factor that weakened microglial interaction with the substrate. The quantification of cell-substrate adhesion using 3 Pa compared to 7.5 Pa clearly demonstrated advancing AβO in AD. This study using the chip provides an AD model for a deeper understanding mechanobiological behaviors of microglia exposed to AβO corresponding to diagnosed AD conditions under an in vitro microenvironment.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
