This month, we present another 3 very promising and exciting projects about microfluidics!
Researchers have developed a groundbreaking microfluidic device that mimics the natural self-assembly process of spider silk. By combining ion-induced phase separation and pH-driven fibrillation, they produced synthetic silk fibers with properties akin to natural silk. This innovation offers exciting potential for creating high-performance synthetic fibers, advancing materials science significantly.

Researchers have developed a cutting-edge digital microfluidic system for drug screening using primary tumor cells, overcoming the challenge of limited cell availability from early-stage cancer patients. This innovative system features smart control logic to enhance throughput and minimize size, allowing parallel screening of three drugs on a compact 4 × 4 cm² chip. Validated in both breast cancer mouse models and liver cancer patient specimens, the system accurately identified effective drugs, correlating with genetic analysis results. This breakthrough technique promises significant advancements in precision medicine, offering personalized cancer treatment and potential applications for other diseases.
