Microfluidic bandage for delivery and sensing of oxygen for smart wound healing
A chronic wound also called a non-healing wound is one that has failed to heal in an orderly and timely manner. If the wound does not heal in more than 8 weeks, it is considered a chronic wound. Several factors can contribute to the chronicity...
Microfluidic drug delivery to tumor slice cultures
Personalized cancer therapy hinges upon predicting which patient is more responsive to specific therapies. It is based on the notion that the patient’s genotypes can affect the metabolism and drug toxicity while the tumor biomarkers are the indicators of the effectiveness of the treatment and...
Microfluidic single-cell barcode chip (SCBC) reveals multiple trajectories to drug tolerance in cancer cells
Cell-state change is referred to as a process in which the cell undergoes a change in its state and can range from stem cell differentiation to a change in drug-tolerance. For example, a cancer cell initially prone to inhibitors can develop into a drug-resistant mode....
Microfluidic platform for screening cardiac disease biomarkers
Rapid and in-time monitoring of disease-specific biomarkers holds a significant value in disease prevention and early treatment. It also is important to monitor these biomarkers post-treatment to make sure of the efficiency of the treatment. A multi-disciplinary team of researchers has recently reported a microfluidic...
