Main Methods:

Review of strategies for high spatio-temporal control of cells in microfluidics.
Discussion of methods including microfluidic structure design (e.g., pinched flow).
Integration of actuators like electrodes or magnets for various phoresis techniques (dielectro-, acousto-, magneto-phoresis).

Main Results:

Detailed overview of spatial control of cells within microchannels.
Emphasis on high temporal resolution in observing cell responses to stimuli.
Analysis of integrated approaches combining structural design and active manipulation.

Conclusions:

Microfluidics provides powerful tools for cell manipulation and experimentation.
