The potential to isolate and regulate the biodynamics of single cells is significant in drug design and screening. However, pre-existing experimental reports in single-cell drug screening must yet provide multiple-dose gradient ...
Griffith University researchers are behind some major breakthroughs on the micro and nano scale, with recent research finding that getting more detailed breakdowns on wearable device owners' overall health stats could soon ...
MIT engineers have designed a new nanoparticle sensor that could enable early diagnosis of cancer with a simple urine test. The sensors, which can detect many different cancerous proteins, could also be used to distinguish ...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-secreted lipid bilayer bioparticles with a diameter of 30 to 250 nm. They are a promising source of biomarkers for liquid biopsies for early cancer diagnosis and real-time monitoring ...
The biomedical optics research team in Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has developed a device for on-site immediate detection of ...
Effective, accurate and quick ways to screen and sort microbes are in short supply. Most methods available now rely on additional labeling steps to sort bacteria, which are typically time-consuming and cannot work well for ...
The possibility of rapidly identifying antibiotic resistant bacteria can play a significant role in solving the global antibiotic crisis by facilitating the targeted and timely administration of pharmaceutical drugs. At present, ...
Bioengineers and tissue engineers intend to reconstruct skin equivalents with physiologically relevant cellular and matrix architectures for basic research and industrial applications. Skin pathophysiology depends on skin-nerve ...
Rapid pregnancy and COVID-19 tests have a great advantage over other medical analyses: they are so simple that anyone can perform the test themselves, virtually anywhere. This is due to the robust principle behind these microfluidic ...
The synthesis of multifunctional nanoparticles is commonly a complex endeavor and hampers the clinical translation of effective nanomedicines. In their most recent work, Matthias Barz and coworkers present a microfluidic ...
