Microfluidics advances appear in sometimes surprising ways. One of the most intriguing is their emerging role in microbiome research. A new study shows how some bacteria in the microbiome, inside…
Microfluidics’ potential role in creating accurate wearable technology is significant. For example, the density of metabolites in sweat — along with its ease of collection from skin pores — make…
Although scaling up for mass production remains an ongoing challenge in the world of microfluidics, other developments are driving positive predictions. For example, the microfluidic immunoassay market recently welcomed a…
Renown stem-cell pioneer Dr. Hans Clevers will be a presenter at Cell Symposia in August 2019 in San Diego, USA. In a symposia preview, when queried by an interviewer about…
The more that is learned about how microfluidic processes control or contribute to cellular change, the sooner science will be able to design a cost-effective medical treatment based on that…
Microfluidic engineering advances sustain organoids and fuel the growing stream of organoid uses. As tiny replicas of human organs, organoids are generated layer-by-layer from stem cells, and realistically vascularized by…
The name “stem” cells came from plant stems, which, despite their tiny size, have the capacity to produce flowers, leaves, branches, fruit, vegetables, and gigantic trees. In the same way,…
Harnessing the potential of microfluidics applications is underway in every corner of the globe, and stretching out to deep space as well. In Japan, cancer researchers are building microfluidic chip…
A Most Frequently Asked Question is posed in the May 2018 Cell Science headline: “Will Microfluidic Cell Culture Fulfill its Long-awaited Potential?” The article notes that the first research papers on…
