Microfluidics in Biology:
-
The ability to manipulate the environment at a micro
scale provides a largely unexplored technical advantage in the field of ART and IVP
-
Preliminary results indicate a substantial developmental
advantage to stripping cumulus cells microfluidically as opposed to current handstripping techniques
-
Constraining cells to a predefined microenvironment creates a new venue to study
cell-to-cell signaling and optimized culture conditions
