A new review highlights how physical forces such as blood flow, breathing and tissue stiffness must be replicated alongside ...

Blood vessels are like big-city highways; full of curves, branches, merges, and congestion. Yet for years, lab models replicated vessels like straight, simple roads. To better capture the complex ...

Researchers have developed a "blood vessel-on-a-chip" for heart disease with the potential to change the future of drug testing and development. The technology could also reduce our reliance on animal ...

In biomedical research, so-called organs-on-a-chip, also referred to as microphysiological systems, are becoming increasingly important: by cultivating tissue structures in precisely controlled ...

A new microfluidic technology that leverages immune cell behavior is set to transform cancer monitoring, thanks to researchers at UNIST. Led by Professor Joo Hun Kang in the Department of Biomedical ...

A research team from George R Brown School of Engineering and Computing (Rice University; TX, USA), led by Peter Lillehoj and Kevin Mchugh, have developed an innovative AI-enabled microfluidic ...

Researchers have developed a new method for detecting foodborne pathogens that is faster, cheaper, and more effective than existing methods. Their microfluidic chip uses light to detect multiple types ...
