The integration of membranes in microfluidic devices has been extensively exploited for
various chemical engineering and bioengineering applications over the past few decades …

Biofilms are found in many infections in the forms of surface-adhering aggregates on
medical devices, small clumps in tissues, or even in synovial fluid. Although antibiotic …

Flow-assembled chitosan membranes are robust and semipermeable hydrogel structures
formed in microfluidic devices that have been used for important applications such as …

Microfluidic-integrated freestanding membranes with suitable biocompatibility and tunable
physicochemical properties are in high demand for a wide range of life science and …

Microbes are typically found in multi-species (polymicrobial) communities. Cooperative and
competitive interactions between species, mediated by diffusible factors and physical …

Optical phase and birefringence signals occur in cells and thin, semi-transparent
biomaterials. A dual-modality quantitative phase and polarization microscope was designed …

Specific cell-cell interactions enable the complex metabolic tasks associated with natural
microbial communities and facilitates their improved adaptation to environmental changes …

Cell-cell communication through diffusible signals allows distant cells to coordinate
