Microtechnology enables physiologically relevant experiments
BEL Contribution to "Views" in Journal Cell Systems on how microfluidic and microfabrication approaches can contribute to enhance physiological relevance of experiments in biology and biomedicine.
A. Hierlemann and colleagues in the field provided their views on how state-of-the-art microtechnological developments and devices can make experiments in biology and biomedicine more physiologically relevant. Simplified handling, precise spatiotemporal manipulation of cells and liquids and faithful recapitulation of cellular environments in tissues and at organ level have been identified to offer the potential to boost the physiological relevance of experiments.
