This has led a growing number of researchers and developers to design microfluidic chips for single-cell applications, moving away from the analytical studies to preparative applications in which ...

A team of researchers at the George R. Brown School of Engineering and Computing at Rice University has developed an ...

For instance, Quake integrated these pneumatic microvalves onto microfluidic chips to easily separate and sort DNA molecules instead of relying on DNA gel electrophoresis. With the integration of this ...

A new modified silicone rubber for cancer-on-chip applications improves cell adhesion and drug testing, paving the way for ...

Microfluidic chips are particularly promising in cancer diagnosis. In most cases, a tissue biopsy is the initial means of making a diagnosis. With increasing accuracy, liquid biopsies – where ...

The Lab on a Chip & ALine Pioneers of Miniaturisation Lectureship recognises ... high-resolution isolation of circulating tumor cells and extracellular vesicles. Additionally, a thermophoretic ...

The Gut-on-Chip makes it possible to test the gut microbiota of a patient with cancer, in this case melanoma, while waiting to undergo immunotherapy and to predict the outcome of that therapy. In the ...

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a complex disease which affects voluntary and involuntary muscle movement. The neurons that control muscle cells, as well as the muscle cells themselves, play ...
