Microfluidic biochips represent a transformative technology that miniaturises laboratory functions onto single chip platforms, revolutionising biochemical assays, point‐of‐care diagnostics, and ...

Researchers have reverse-engineered a cellular signal processing system and used it like a logic gate -- a simple computer -- to better understand what causes specific cells to migrate. Cancer cells ...

Cancer cells migrate through the body for multiple reasons; some are simply following the flow of a fluid, while others are actively following specific chemical trails. So how do you determine which ...

MIT researchers created a microfluidic device in which tiny bubbles, while undergoing chemical reactions inside, function essentially like electrons in a microprocessor: The team, based at MIT’s ...

EPFL scientists have come up with a systematic method for studying and even predicting gene expression – without using cells. Using their innovative, quantitative approach, they measured important ...
