The study of particle stabilized interfaces has a long history in terms of emulsions, foams and
related dry powders. The same underlying interfacial energy principles also allow …

Digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) technology has remained a “hot topic” in the last
two decades due to its potential applications in cell biology, genetic engineering, and …

The need for miniaturised reaction systems has led to the development of various
microreactor platforms, such as droplet-based microreactors. However, these microreactors …

Liquid marbles are droplets with volume typically on the order of microliters coated with
hydrophobic powder. Their versatility, ease of use and low cost make liquid marbles an …

A three-dimensional (3D) tissue model has significant advantages over the conventional two-
dimensional (2D) model. A 3D model mimics the relevant in-vivo physiological conditions …

We describe a novel protocol for three-dimensional culturing of olfactory ensheathing cells
(OECs), which can be used to understand how OECs interact with other cells in three …

Bi-dimensional culture systems have represented the most used method to study cell
biology outside the body for over a century. Although they convey useful information, such …

Liquid marbles (LM) are freestanding droplets covered by micro/nanoparticles with
hydrophobic/hydrophilic properties, which can be manipulated as a soft solid. The …

A liquid marble micro‐bioreactor is prepared by placing a drop of murine embryonic stem
cell (ESC)(Oct4B2‐ESC) suspension onto a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) particle bed. The …

As an alternative and a straightforward cryopreservation biotechnological tool, liquid marble
provides a promising cryopreservation approach. Currently, effective cell preservation …
