A cell is fundamentally a container—a vessel that encapsulates life at the most basic level. Many biologists believe encapsulation of chemicals may have been necessary for evolution to gain traction.

Single-cell encapsulation in droplet microfluidics is commonly hindered by the tradeoff between cell suspension density and on-chip focusing performance. In this study, we introduce a novel droplet ...

Researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, pioneered a new method for encapsulating cells within small, soft capsules. This is useful for various kinds of research where the properties ...

Tiny hydrogel capsules let labs grow cells in tissue-like 3D conditions using simple tools, making advanced cell culture cheaper and more accessible. (Nanowerk News) Cells are typically studied ...
