The study of blood ex vivo can occur in closed or open systems, with or without flow.
Microfluidic devices, which constrain fluids to a small (typically submillimeter) scale, facilitate …

Spatially defined arrays of droplets differ from bulk emulsions in that droplets in arrays can
be indexed on the basis of one or more spatial variables to enable identification, monitoring …

This paper shows that for microbial communities,“fences make good neighbors.”
Communities of soil microorganisms perform critical functions: controlling climate …

The study of intercellular signalling networks requires organotypic microscale systems that
facilitate the culture, conditioning and manipulation of cells. Here, we describe a …

A device is described having a first surface having a plurality of first areas and a second
surface having a plurality of second areas. The first surface and the second surface are …

It is our utmost pleasure to launch the Journal of Systems Chemistry. What systems
chemistry exactly is will be known in a few years from now when one is able to sketch the …

Rare cells can be difficult to analyze because they either occur in low numbers or coexist
with a more abundant cell type, yet their detection is crucial for diagnosing disease and …

The last decade has witnessed tremendous advances in employing microfluidic solutions
enabling Continuous Processing and Monitoring of Biological Samples (CPMBS), which is …

This account examines developments in “digital” biology and chemistry within the context of
microfluidics, from a personal perspective. Using microfluidics as a frame of reference, we …

The dawn of the new millennium saw a trend towards the dedicated use of microfluidic
devices for process intensification in biotechnology. As the last decade went by, it became …
