Cells are the fundamental building blocks of living matters, and cells can respond to stimuli
and changes in the surrounding environment. In order to better study cells, especially mammalian
cells, cell culture techniques were developed decades ago. During cell culture, cells are grown
and differentiated in a controlled environment in vitro. However, due to technical limitations,
the commonly used cell culture models have difficulty in reconstituting the arrangement of
different cells and the complex microenvironment in vivo. Therefore, cell culture can only
provide limited insightful information and predictive capabilities. To overcome the differences
in the microenvironment between in vivo and in vitro, microfluidic chips have been developed for
advanced cell biology research. In this talk, I will introduce the development of microfluidic
chips in the laboratory for cell culture and analysis, and let you know how chip technology can
be used to help biomedical research!
