Axons play a major role in the transmission of neuronal signals along the central nervous system. Dysfunction or degeneration of these neurons is seen in many neurodegenerative diseases as well as spinal cord injuries for many of which no cure has been found yet....
Prostate cancer being one of the major causing death in men has been the focus of attention for many researchers around the world. Early diagnostics of this type of cancer can significantly increase the chance of survival. Therefore, many efforts have been made to...
.Double emulsions are core-shell droplets that often have an aqueous droplet within a larger organic droplet or vice versa that are usually made using droplet microfluidic chips for uniform production. They have found many applications in microfluidic cell culture, bacteria culturing, protein synthesis, etc. The...
Imagine having a micron-sized operating room equipped with a toolbox full of microtools with which you could perform a micro/nano-operation. A research group in Japan has now taken advantage of microfluidic microfabrication techniques to develop a microfluidic workbench. The microfluidic workbench consists of microchambers equipped...
Single-cell analysis has become one of the most important applications of microfluidic technology in recent years. It refers to the process of isolation, manipulation, and analysis of the cells at single-cell resolution in microfluidic chips. Depending on the application, single-cell analysis chips can include any...
