Biomicrofluidics (BMF) publishes fundamental and applied research across all areas pertaining to micro/nanoscale transport phenomena and micro/nanofluidics
Despite the large number of microfluidic devices that have been described over the past decade for the study of tissues and organs, few have become widely adopted. There are many reasons for this ...
Microfluidics devices are gaining significant interest in biomedical applications. However, in a micron-scale device, reaction speed is often limited by the slow rate of diffusion of the reagents. ...
Breast cancer metastasis involves complex mechanisms, particularly when patients are undergoing chemotherapy. In tissues, tumor cells encounter cell–cell interactions, cell–microenvironment ...
We have determined the susceptibility of T4 DNA (166 kilobase pairs, kbp) to fragmentation under steady shear in a cone-and-plate rheometer. After shearing for at least 30 min at a shear rate of ...
Single-cell level coculture facilitates the study of cellular interactions for uncovering unknown physiological mechanisms, which are crucial for the development of new therapies for diseases. ...
Recent advances in droplet microfluidics have led to the fabrication of versatile vesicles with a structure that mimics the cellular membrane. These artificial cell-like vesicles including ...
Digital bioanalysis places great emphasis on the highly sensitive and rapid detection of biomolecules at the single-molecule level. Rooted in single-molecule biophysics, this innovative approach ...
The efficient breakage of one cell or a concentration of cells for releasing intracellular material such as DNA, without damaging it, is the first step for several diagnostics or treatment processes. ...
Organ-on-a-chip devices are powerful modeling systems that allow researchers to recapitulate the in vivo structures of organs as well as the physiological conditions those tissues are subject to. ...
