TL;DR: This paper will provide a broad overview of the novel achievements in the field of pathogen sensing by focusing on methods and devices that compliment microfluidics.

TL;DR: This review presents the most important developments in single-cell, 2D and 3D microfluidic cell culture systems for studying cell-to-cell interactions published over the last 6 years, with a focus on cancer research and immunotherapy, vascular models and neuroscience.

TL;DR: An electrochemical biosensor array, in which transduction is based on respiratory cycle activity measurements, where the microorganism's native respiratory chain is interrupted with non-native external oxidants is investigated, finding general agreement between agglutination test results and the electrochemical assessment of lectin-cell binding.

TL;DR: The tangible advantages of microfluidic devices to overcome most of the challenges associated with stem cell identification, expansion and differentiation are highlighted, with the greatest advantage being that lab-on-a-chip technology allows for the precise regulation of culturing conditions, while simultaneously monitoring relevant parameters using embedded sensory systems.

TL;DR: The application of multi-layered, membrane-integrated microdevices that consist of up to seven layers and three membranes that specially confine and separate vascular cells from the epithelial barrier and 3D tissue structures are demonstrated.
