SENSORS FOR FAST MEDICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSES

+RAPID +EFFICIENT Modern medicine is moving towards personalized treatment schedules, requiring analytical tools to monitor the response of patients during treatment. Chemotherapy patients are currently administered cocktails of drugs according to a schedule...
NEW LOW-COST DEVICE FOR NEURONS NAVIGATION STUDIES

NEW LOW-COST DEVICE FOR NEURONS NAVIGATION STUDIES

+STRUCTURED +THROUGHPUT The study of cell navigation in response to surface cues is called haptotaxis and dates back to 1967, but a conceptual framework and standards for comparing studies is lacking. As a consequence many conclusions reached in prior studies are...
