TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Indigenous spore-forming bacteria from the mouse and human microbiota promote 5-HT biosynthesis from colonic enterochromaffin cells (ECs), which supply 5- HT to the mucosa, lumen, and circulating platelets and elevating luminal concentrations of particular microbial metabolites increases colonic and blood5-HT in germ-free mice.

TL;DR: Fundamental and applied research in chemistry and biology benefits from opportunities provided by droplet-based microfluidic systems, which enable the miniaturization of reactions by compartmentalizing reactions in droplets of femoliter to microliter volumes.

TL;DR: Millisecond mixing and transport with no dispersion are achieved by unsteady flows induced in droplets of about 60 pL that travel through winding microfluidic channels, suggesting that arbitrarily complex reaction networks can be created by combining and splitting streams of such droplets.

TL;DR: The reaction of species in solutions flowing laminarly inside capillaries was used as the basis for a broadly applicable method of microfabrication, applicable to the patterning of metals, organic polymers, inorganic crystals, and ceramics on the inner walls of preformed capillary, using both additive and subtractive processes.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental characterization of a simple method for rapid formation of droplets, or plugs, of multiple aqueous reagents without bringing reagents into contact prior to mixing is presented.
