Researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute have created a more accurate model of the human immune system in a microfluidic chip, providing a better platform to study how immune cells respond to ...

Engineers from Texas A&M University (TAMU) have developed a groundbreaking tiny chip that mimics real human blood vessels, ...

The study titled "Custom microfluidic chip design enables cost-effective three-dimensional spatiotemporal transcriptomics with a wide field of view" was published in Nature Genetics on September ...

In biomedical research, so-called organs-on-a-chip, also referred to as microphysiological systems, are becoming increasingly ...

An organ-on-a-chip is a microfluidic device with continuously perfused chambers in which cells are cultured to obtain functional units that mimic organ functions. The organ-on-a-chip stands out as a ...

Blood vessels are like big-city highways; full of curves, branches, merges, and congestion. Yet for years, lab models ...

Microfluidic organs-on-chips offer the possibility of overcoming all of these limitations. In this Perspective, we discuss the value of this new approach to scientists in basic and applied research.

Another area where paper could lead to low-cost innovative devices and applications is lab-on-a-chip technology. Currently, these microfluidic devices are fairly expensive due to their ...

A review article published in the journal Nature Communications provides a detailed overview of recent developments in microfluidic chip models for neurodegenerative diseases. Recent advancements ...

A research group in Japan has established a microfluidic control technology that can be applied to small blood testing devices and consequently developed a novel integrated immunoassay device.

Here, you can see that he’s turned his microfluidic chip — often called a “lab on a chip” — into a painting made entirely by piping tiny amounts of colored fluid into canals that are ...
