The challenge is that the tumor immune microenvironment is not a static backdrop but a constantly shifting ecosystem shaped by cancer cells, immune cells, stromal cells, cytokines, and physical ...

Hydrodynamic dispersion in microfluidic systems refers to the phenomenon where solute particles spread due to the combined effects of fluid advection and molecular diffusion. In microchannels, the ...

The use of space environment to carry out life science research is of great significance to issues affecting the occurrence and development of life on earth by space flight and space environment; ...

Scientists developed a new microfluidic system that can detect subtle chemical fingerprints from bacteria - helping identify even antibiotic-resistant strains. This technology could help physicians ...

In a recent perspective published in Science, researchers explored microfluidic systems with a skin interface in assessing chemical exposure and health status. The skin's eccrine sweat glands are ...

Found in a patient's blood, circulating tumor cells, or CTCs, have powerful potential to indicate how well a cancer treatment is working and guide treatment decisions. Even so, CTC technologies have ...

From our June 15 Issue: The Confluence of Multiple Inflows Is Building Toward an Irresistible Outflow, Refreshing Research and Diagnostics Along the Way Multiple subdisciplines are feeding into ...

MEMS devices based on microfluidics�the movement of minute amounts of liquids through microchannels�promise a new era of life-saving diagnostic and drug-delivery systems, as well as new ...

Simple and sensitive nucleic acid-based molecular detection plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis of infectious diseases and the rapid screening of cancers. CRISPR technology has recently ...

Active microvalves and passive microvalves in microfluidic chips. (A) Typical structure of active microvalve: sliding arm. PDMS structures contain a guiding channel and a fluidic channel and were ...

Collaborate. Microfluidic engineering labs and even commercial companies often look for academics to "cross-validate" their work, notes Robert Freedman, CEO of HμREL Corporation, which is working on a ...
