This review covers several aspects of microfluidic devices used for culturing and monitoring
of both adherent and non-adherent cells, including a multitude of applications. A comparison …

Blood plays an important role in homeostatic regulation with each of its cellular components
having important therapeutic and diagnostic uses. Therefore, separation and sorting of …

The pivotal role of microfluidic technology in life science and biomedical research is now
widely recognized. Indeed, microfluidics as a research tool is unparalleled in terms of its …

Abstract Background Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) represent one of the most interesting
target in improving diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. Herein we evaluate the possibility of …

Malignant transformation is a multistep process in which several molecular entities become
dysregulated and result in dysfunction in the regulation of cell proliferation. In past years …

Whereas the axons of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) spontaneously regenerate after
an injury, the occurring regeneration is rarely successful because axons are usually directed …

Efficient capture of rare circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from blood samples is valuable for
early cancer detection to improve the management of cancer. In this work, we developed a …

This work presents a disposable passive microfluidic system, allowing chemotaxis studies,
through the generation of a concentration gradient. The device can handle liquid flows …

Galectin-3, β-galactoside-binding lectin, coats the membrane of most cancer cells and is
involved in metastasis and endothelium recognition as well as in evading immune …

In this work, a disposable passive microfluidic device for cell culturing that does not require
any additional/external pressure sources is introduced. By regulating the height of fluidic …
