The structure is around key papers and model\r\norganisms. While courses gradually change over time, a focus remains on understanding how\r\nmicrofluidics has developed as well as what it can and cannot do for researchers. As a primary\r\nstarting point, we cover micro-fluid mechanics principles and microfabrication of devices. A variety\r\nof applications are discussed using model prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms from the set\r\nof bacteria (Escherichia coli), trypanosomes (Trypanosoma brucei), yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae),\r\nslime molds (Physarum polycephalum), worms (Caenorhabditis elegans), flies (Drosophila melangoster),\r\nplants (Arabidopsis thaliana), and mouse immune cells (Mus musculus). Other engineering and\r\nbiochemical methods discussed include biomimetics, organ on a chip, inkjet, droplet microfluidics,\r\nbiotic games, and diagnostics. While we have not yet reached the end-all lab on a chip,\r\nmicrofluidics can still be used effectively for specific applications.","lang":"eng"}],"citation":{"ama":"Merrin J.
