Once in the territory of science fiction, "nanobots" are closer than ever to becoming a reality, with possible applications in medicine, manufacturing, robotics, and fluidics

The system fully replicates Alzheimer's pathology, including neural cell death

SLAS has selected Kelci Schilly, a graduate research assistant in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Kansas, as the inaugural recipient of the 2018 SLAS Visiting Graduate Researcher Grant

Combinations of cancer drugs can be quickly and cheaply tested on tumor cells using a novel device developed by EMBL scientists

Scaling up microfluidic systems has been a major challenge, as they depend on tightly controlled flow rates to produce particles of a consistent size

Human tissue samples linked by microfluidic channels replicate interactions of multiple organs

The new platform combines microfluidic lab-on-a-chip technology with physiologically relevant 3D spheroids to enable formation and long-term culture of 3D multicellular tumors / organoids for drug screening and individualized chemosensitivity testing

The device will be fundamental for studying new strategies to overcome the blood-brain barrier and treat brain diseases

A novel lab-on-a-chip can be used to study gene regulation in single bacterial cells in response to dynamically controlled environmental changes

New cell manipulation technology enables highly accurate isolation of rare cell populations in complex biological samples
