Droplet microfluidics generates and manipulates discrete droplets through immiscible
multiphase flows inside microchannels. Due to its remarkable advantages, droplet …

Droplet microfluidics has rapidly emerged as one of the key technologies opening up new
experimental possibilities in microbiology. The ability to generate, manipulate and monitor …

Single-cell RNA sequencing has recently emerged as a powerful tool for mapping cellular
heterogeneity in diseased and healthy tissues, yet high-throughput methods are needed for …

Stable water-in-oil emulsion is essential to digital PCR and many other bioanalytical
reactions that employ droplets as microreactors. We developed a novel technology to …

Background Droplet-based microfluidics is becoming an increasingly attractive alternative to
microtiter plate techniques for enzymatic high-throughput screening (HTS), especially for …

Synthetic biology aims to improve human health and the environment by repurposing
biological enzymes for use in practical applications. However, natural enzymes often …

Since antibiotic resistance is a major threat to global health, recent observations that the
traditional test of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is not informative enough to guide …

Lifeforms are regulated by many physicochemical factors, and these factors could be
controlled to play a role in the construction of artificial living systems. Among these factors …

Evolution is essential to the generation of complexity and ultimately life. It relies on the
propagation of the properties, traits, and characteristics that allow an organism to survive in …

The natural bacterial diversity is regarded as a treasure trove for natural products. However,
accessing complex cell mixtures derived from environmental samples in standardized high …
