Recent advances in microfluidic technology and applications for anti-cancer drug screening

Yiwei Shi et al.

Summary: To accelerate the discovery of anti-cancer drugs, there is an urgent need to establish an inexpensive and simple preclinical model that can simulate the tumor microenvironment and screen the drug candidates. Microfluidic chips are a promising technology due to low reagent consumption and the capability of replicating a more representative 3D cell culture.

The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of Antibiotics: Methods, Interpretation, Clinical Relevance

Beata Kowalska-Krochmal et al.

Summary: The inefficiency of medical therapies for curing patients with bacterial infections calls for active search for new therapeutic strategies and careful selection of antibiotics based on various parameters including microbiological considerations. Proper assessment of Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) is crucial for optimizing treatment strategies and ensuring the effectiveness of infection therapy. This paper discusses methods for MIC estimation, factors influencing MIC results, and possibilities of utilizing MIC in clinical practice with consideration of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameters.

Gradient-Based Microfluidic Platform for One Single Rapid Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing

Morteza Azizi et al.

Summary: This study proposed a novel gradient-based microchamber microfluidic platform for rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing, which can cover a wide range of antibiotic concentrations in a single test with a short time to results. The platform demonstrated good tunability and applicability for profiling different bacteria, and tracked bacterial growth independently of antibiotic mechanism or bacterial species in a robust and easy-to-implement manner.
