A droplet microfluidic chip is developed as a part of a platform for deep mutational scanning of human executioner caspases. "The human caspase family comprises 12 cysteine proteases that are centrally involved in cell death and inflammation responses. The members of this family have conserved sequences...
uFluidix Accepts Applications for Free Thermoplastic Microfluidic Chip Manufacturing Due to recent increased demand, uFluidix has amplified its capacity for the efficient processing of thermoplastic microfluidic chips and devices made of PMMA, COC, and polycarbonate. During this expansion, there are some processes variables that need to...
The uFluidix team has successfully doubled their manufacturing capacity over the last 12 months and is now optimizing for new process variables in the manufacturing of thermoplastic microfluidic chips. The team will select three project submissions and offer manufacturing services free-of-charge, including tooling, design and...
Organ-on-a-chip microfluidic devices are well known for their abilities in mimicking in vivo conditions and their superiority in drug toxicity screening compared to regular cell culture models. In this week's research highlight, we will introduce another organ-on-chip that takes advantage of microfluidics technology to mimic...
"The ability to build synthetic cellular populations from the bottom-up provides the groundwork to realize minimal living tissues comprising single cells which can communicate and bridge scales into multicellular systems. Engineered systems made of synthetic micron-sized compartments and integrated reaction networks coupled with mathematical modeling...
