TL;DR: Recent advances in nonbiofouling PDMS surface modification strategies applicable to microfluidic technology are summarized and two main categories are classified: physical approach including physisorption of charged or amphiphilic polymers and copolymers, as well as chemical approach including self assembled monolayer and thick polymer coating.

TL;DR: It is suggested that FSC can be used for rapid identification of effective, reduced dose, multi-drug combinations for the treatment of cancer and other diseases.

TL;DR: An integrated microfluidic platform for actively patterning mammalian cells, where poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels play two important roles as a non-fouling layer and a dielectric structure, which could provide an efficient strategy for fabricating various cell microarrays for applications such as cell-based biosensors, drug discovery, and cell microenvironment studies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied multiphase flow induced erosion-corrosion in pipes, mainly focusing on the interactions between the multi-phase flow and the structure of the structure.

TL;DR: Testing this FSC technique in a number of experimental systems representing different disease states, it is found that the response of cells to multiple drugs is well described by a low order, rather smooth, drug-mixture-input/drug-effect-output multidimensional surface, suggesting the possibility of personalized optimal drug mixtures in the near future.
