Gradients generation for cell biology in microfluidics
Chemical gradients play a key role in many biological processes and regulate a number of cellular functions in vivo. Indeed, there are several examples ...
Read moreHuman cells: pH monitoring in microfluidics
The ultimate goal in microfluidics is to achieve the so-called laboratory-on-a-chip, i.e. integrate all those activities which are usually performed in a laboratory within ...
Read moreMembranes integrated in microfluidic devices
In this article, we will describe what a membrane is, and what it is used for. A membrane is a semi-permeable barrier, used in microfluidic systems ...
Read moreHuman cells: Microfluidics as a tool for drug delivery
The term "drug delivery" generally refers to the administration of a certain chemical compound to a biological system for therapeutic purposes. Examples of conventional ...
Read moreHuman cells: Cellular metabolism
Temperature control of mammalian cell metabolism In Human cells, regulation of body temperature and adaptation to temperature change is a major physiological function. At the cellular ...
Read moreCell lines: Vesicular trafficking
Temperature control of vesicular trafficking Cells interact with their environment by secreting or importing proteins. These proteins are packaged in vesicles going in and out of ...
