Microfluidics technologies have become a powerful tool in life science research laboratories over the past three decades. This review discusses three important segments of the field from origins and current status to future prospective: a) materials and microfabrication technologies from the field, b) research and development of essential microfluidic ...

The propagation of pressure waves in fluidic channels with elastic covers is discussed in view of applications to flow control in microfluidic devices. A theory is presented which describes pressure waves in the fluid that are coupled to bending waves in the elastic cover. At low frequencies, the lateral bending of the cover dominates over longitudinal

Predicting Dimensions in Microfluidic Paper Based Analytical Devices
The main problem for the expansion of the use of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices and, thus, their mass production is their inherent lack of fluid flow control due to its uncontrolled fabrication protocols.

Microfluidics for Biotechnology: Bridging Gaps to Foster Microfluidic Applications [PDF]
Microfluidics and novel lab-on-a-chip applications have the potential to boost biotechnological research in ways that are not possible using traditional methods. Although microfluidic tools were increasingly used for different applications within biotechnology in recent years, a systematic and routine use in academic and industrial labs is still not ...

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells
In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

Digital Signal Processing for Molecular Communication via Chemical Reactions-based Microfluidic Circuits [PDF]
Chemical reactions-based microfluidic circuits are expected to provide new opportunities to perform signal processing functions over molecular domain. To realize this vision, in this article, we exploit and present the digital signal processing capabilities of chemical reactions-based microfluidic circuits.
