The advent of microfluidic technology allows control and interrogation of cell behavior by defining the local microenvironment with an assortment of biochemical and biophysical stimuli. Many approaches have been developed to create gradients of soluble factors, but the complexity of such systems or their inability to create defined and controllable chemical gradients has limited their widespread implementation. Here we describe a new microfluidic device which employs a parallel arrangement of we ...[more]
