The current state-of-art in 3D microfluidic chemotaxis device (μFCD) is limited by the
inherent coupling of the fluid flow and chemical concentration gradients. Here, we present …

The achievement of consistent and static chemical gradients is critically important in the
study of diffusion and chemotaxis at the micro-and nanoscales. In this context, a number of …

Chemotaxis is the ability of an organism to move in response to gradients of chemicals
called chemoattractants. Many species of bacteria are known to exhibit chemotaxis to a wide …

The emerging field of micro-technology has opened up new possibilities for exploring
cellular chemotaxis in real space and time, and at single cell resolution. Chemotactic cells …

Many bacteria actively bias their motility towards more favourable nutrient environments. In
liquid, cells rotate their corkscrew-shaped flagella to swim, but in surface attached biofilms …

Over the last decades, bacterial chemotaxis in Escherichia coli has emerged as a canonical
system for the study of signal transduction. A remarkable feature of this system is the …

We developed a multiple-channel microfluidic device for bacterial chemotaxis detection.
Some characteristics such as easy operation, parallel sample adding design and fast result …

This paper describes a new microfluidic device called the “microfluidic palette”, capable of
generating multiple spatial chemical gradients simultaneously inside a microfluidic chamber …

Many chemotaxis assays allow for the assessment of bacterial chemotaxis by determining
the number of cells migrating toward a chemoattractant or away from a chemorepellent …

Microfluidics approaches have gained popularity in the field of directed cell migration,
enabling control of the extracellular environment and integration with live-cell microscopy; …
