"Microfluidic systems offer great benefits in healthcare technologies such as reduction in reagent volume, high sensitivity, cost-efficiency and on-chip integration of multiple analyses. These benefits can be further enhanced using two phase flow microfluidic systems, i.e. microdroplet-based devices. The objective of this proposal is to develop programmable droplet-based lab-on-a-chip systems (PDB ...

Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the world. Nicotine, which is the addictive ingredient of tobacco, exerts its addictive effect through nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the central nervous system (CNS). Besides mediating nicotine addiction, nAChRs have been implicated in Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, learning and memory, autism, anxiety disorders, d ...
