12.1 Introduction
Studying cells enables a better understanding of the human physiology and exploring a multitude of diseases to develop diagnostics and therapeutics methods and tools. Microengineering approaches facilitate cellular studies through the development of novel assays to mimic the cellular environments in various contexts. To address the need for microengineering in such studies, microfluidic technologies were developed to model various physiologic and pathologic cellular processes, enable drug testing, perform bioanalyses, and allow ...
