Abstract "The increasing prevalence of urolithiasis in industrialized societies triggered considerable interest in how various species found in urine regulate the nucleation and growth of common kidney stone constituents such as calcium oxalate (CaOx). Yet, the role macromolecules play in kidney stone formation is often overlooked...
Abstract "Matrigel, a mouse tumor extracellular matrix protein mixture, is an indispensable component of most organoid tissue culture. However, it has limited the utility of organoids for drug development and regenerative medicine due to its tumor-derived origin, batch-to-batch variation, high cost, and safety issues. Here, we...
Abstract "Heart-on-a-chip plays an important role in revealing the biological mechanism and developing new drugs for cardiomyopathy. Tremendous efforts have been devoted to developing heart-on-a-chip systems featuring simplified fabrication, accurate imitation and microphysiological visuality. In this paper, the authors present a novel electroconductive and anisotropic structural...
Abstract "Mechanical properties of cells are important features that are tightly regulated and are dictated by various pathologies. Deformability cytometry allows for the characterization of the mechanical properties at a rate of hundreds of cells per second, opening the way to differentiating cells via mechanotyping. A...
The emergence of machine learning techniques to help scientific research has opened new windows of opportunities for researchers and has empowered the research community with unprecedented prediction capabilities. Machine learning techniques are finding their way into the microfluidic domain helping researchers to boost their data...
