Biofilms are widespread in nature and constitute an important strategy implemented by
microorganisms to survive in sometimes harsh environmental conditions. They can be …

The complex interaction of cells with biomaterials (ie, materiobiology) plays an increasingly
pivotal role in the development of novel implants, biomedical devices, and tissue …

Bacteria-propelled biohybrid microswimmers have recently shown to be able to actively
transport and deliver cargos encapsulated into their synthetic constructs to specific regions …

This article reviews the application of electric circuit methods for the analysis of pressure-
driven microfluidic networks with an emphasis on concentration-and flow-dependent …

Chemotaxis and autochemotaxis play an important role in many essential biological
processes. We present a self-propelling artificial swimmer system that exhibits chemotaxis …

This review describes microfluidic systems in poly (dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) for biological
studies. Properties of PDMS that make it a suitable platform for miniaturized biological …

The microfabrication technologies of the semiconductor industry have made it possible to
integrate increasingly complex electronic and mechanical functions, providing us with ever …

This Review summarizes methods for constructing systems and structures at micron or
submicron scales that have applications in microbiology. These tools make it possible to …

Nanofluidics, the field interested in flows at the smallest scales, has grown at a fast pace,
reaching an ever finer control of fluidic and ionic transport at the molecular level. Until now …

Biomolecule gradients have been shown to play roles in a wide range of biological
processes including development, inflammation, wound healing, and cancer metastasis …
