Article Synopsis
- 3D biological systems are becoming preferred over 2D systems for more accurate cellular studies, and microfluidics can enhance these biomimetic systems but often come with high complexity and cost.
- The proposed drug screening platform simplifies the process of spheroid generation in droplets, allowing for efficient chemotherapy and cytotoxicity testing through programmable merging events.
- This system requires fewer initial cells (up to 10 times less) than traditional microtiter plates and demonstrates potential for advanced drug screening in cancer research, including patient-derived xenografts (PDX).
In the present pandemic time, face masks are found to be the most effective strategy against the spread of the virus within the community. As aerosol-based spreading of the virus is considered as the primary mode of transmission, the interaction of masks with incoming droplets needs to be understood thoroughly for an effective usage among the public. In the present work, we explore the interactions of the droplets over the most commonly used 3-ply surgical masks.
