The majority of microfluidic devices for Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) have aimed at enhancing sperm selection and analysis so far. A novel microfluidic chip, however, turns the page by offering a more efficient protocol for oocyte cryopreservation. The design rationale and performance of this microfluidic...
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...
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...
Although CRISPR technology is well-known for its ability for gene knock-out and therapeutic applications, it has been recently evolved as a powerful technique for diagnostics purposes. The strength of CRISPR diagnostics methods along with the superiority of microfluidics in manufacturing point-of-care (POC) diagnostics chips creates...
Cells like other organisms have their own way of communication. The communication between cells is called intercellular signaling. Intercellular signaling normally occurs via small soluble or volatile chemicals called ligands. The ligands interact and bind with specific proteins in the target cell called receptors. There...
