Microfluidic chips can be modular and can be connected to a wide range of read-out systems which in turn makes them a suitable choice for point of care applications. In this week's research highlight, we will introduce a microfluidic chip that uses a trained neural...
"Homing of circulating tumour cells (CTC) at distant sites represents a critical event in metastasis dissemination. In addition to physical entrapment, probably responsible of the majority of the homing events, the vascular system provides with geometrical factors that govern the flow biomechanics and impact on...
The unique features of microfluidic diagnostics chips such as modularity, portability, low reagent and sample consumption, and high sensitivity make these microchips suitable for point of care applications. In this week's research highlight, we will introduce a microfluidic chip that is capable of multiplexed diagnosis...
"Enzymes are represented across a vast space of protein sequences and structural forms and have activities that far exceed the best chemical catalysts; however, engineering them to have novel or enhanced activity is limited by technologies for sensing product formation. Here, we describe a general...
Wearable microfluidics is a hot topic of research with a promising potential for commercialization. Small and skin-friendly microfluidic devices can collect sweat from the skin and deliver it through a network of microfluidic channels to microchambers where they can undergo a chemical or biological reaction...
