This chapter discusses various microfluidic technologies that have been developed to study islets and β-cells. The chapter first introduces key issues in the field of pancreatic islet transplantation as a clinical therapy for Type I diabetes. It then reviews microfluidic technologies that have been ...
A novel type of miniaturized liquid-liquid chromatography (LLC) system with droplet-array stationary phase was developed on a microfluidic chip. The droplet-trapping technique was employed to produce two arrays of stationary phase droplets in the picoliter range on both sidewalls of the microchannel...
We also developed a computer-controlled automated driver system to control the real-time fluid mixing and concentration regulation with the mixing module array. This research demonstrates the integration of digitally controllable polymer-based microfluidic modules as a fully functional system, which has ...
In this paper, we focused on a microfluidic sorting method based on bionic splenic sinus microstructures to capture circulating tumor cells (CTCs). A dynamic multiphase fluidic model was developed to explore the effects of different flows and the parameters of the spleen-specific structure of the ...

Our investigations indicated that the plate-based and microfluidic cancer cell array-based lead identification and optimization results are analogous. This indicates that future drug screens can be carried out faster and more efficiently using microfluidic devices. The investigations were able to identify ...
