The field of microfluidics allows for the precise spatial manipulation of small amounts of fluids. Within microstructures, laminar flow of fluids can be exploited to control the diffusion of small molecules, creating desired microenvironments for cells. Cellular neuroscience has benefited greatly from devices designed to fluidically isolate cell bodies and axons. Microfluidic devices specialized for neuron compartmentalization are made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) which is gas permeable, is co ...[more]
