This review describes the current knowledge and applications of pulsatile flow in microfluidic
systems. Elements of fluid dynamics at low Reynolds number are first described in the …

The microfluidic flow is typically laminar due to the dominant viscous effects. At Reynolds
numbers far below 1 (Re≪ 1), the fluid inertia can be neglected. For the steady flow of …

Although soft devices (grippers, actuators, and elementary robots) are rapidly becoming an
integral part of the broad field of robotics, autonomy for completely soft devices has only …

Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) hold the potential to substantially improve
noninvasive early diagnosis of cancer. However, analysis of nanosized EVs in blood …

Microfluidic systems have been investigated as practical tools in the fields of biomedical
engineering, analytical chemistry, materials science, and biological research. Yet the …

The latest efforts in digital fluidic circuits' research aim at being electronics‐free, light‐weight,
and compliant controllers for soft robots; however, challenges arise to adjust the fluidic …

Spatiotemporal manipulation of extracellular chemical environments with simultaneous
monitoring of cellular responses plays an essential role in exploring fundamental biological …

The human circulatory system comprises a complex network of blood vessels
interconnecting biologically relevant organs and a heart driving blood recirculation …

Microfluidics, the science and technology of manipulating fluids in microscale channels,
offers numerous advantages, such as low energy consumption, compact device size …

Microfluidics has emerged following the quest for scale reduction inherent to micro‐and
nanotechnologies. By definition, microfluidics manipulates fluids in small channels with …
