Cellular processes are mechanisms carried out at the cellular level that are aimed at
guaranteeing the stability of the organism they comprise. The investigation of cellular …

Wettability and microfluidics are inextricably linked, and the wettability-based approach to
microfluidics exhibits considerable potential. In addition to microfluidics, there has been a …

Background Cell characterization and manipulation play an important role in biological and
medical applications. Cell viability evaluation is of significant importance for cell toxicology …

Targeted delivery and labeling of single living cells in heterogeneous cell populations are of
great importance to understand the molecular biology and physiological functions of …

In microfluidic systems, droplets undergo intricate deformations as they traverse flow-
focusing junctions, posing a challenging task for accurate measurement, especially during …

Confinement of chemical species in a controllable micrometer-level (several to a dozen
micrometers) space in an aqueous environment is essential for precisely manipulating …

Stentor coeruleus, a single-cell ciliated protozoan, is a model organism for wound healing
and regeneration studies. Despite Stentor's large size (up to 2 mm in extended state) …

Ciliates are powerful unicellular model organisms that have been used to elucidate
fundamental biological processes. However, the high motility of ciliates presents a major …

Cellular components are non-randomly arranged with respect to the shape and polarity of
the whole cell. 1–4 Patterning within cells can extend down to the level of individual proteins …

We present a scalable droplet generator with capillaries embedded in a microchannel,
assembled with 3D printed T-connector and fittings. We first analyze the influences of …
