We are inviting you on the lecture by Ing. Thorstena Knolla entitled „Microfluidic technologies and their applications in cell biology“, within a series of lectures and courses organized by project VISION (Strategies to strengthen scientific excellence and innovation capacity for early diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer). About the lecture In the past twenty years, microfluidic devices and systems…
Exploration of cardiac function requires technologically demanding experiments on isolated living cells. However, even the most advanced technologies do not allow direct measurements of unique intracellular events. This is partialy due to insufficient spatial and temporal resolution but also due to the impossibility to experimentaly manipulate the finest cellular structures. This category of “impossible” experiments…
