  Sequential bottom-up assembly of mechanically stabilized synthetic cells by microfluidics

  A microfluidics method to generate giant, copolymer-stabilized liposomes is presented. These vesicles are functionalized with distinct proteins to recapitulate cellular processes.

  Differential stickiness

  Technologies to isolate colonies of human pluripotent stem cells from other cell types in a high-throughput manner are lacking. A microfluidic-based approach that exploits differences in the adhesion strength between these cells and a substrate may soon fill the gap.
