Abstract:
In recent years, many human central nervous systems (CNS) of microfluidic platforms and related disease models in vitro have been built with the continuous development of the microfluidic technology and biological microelectronics mechanical systems technology. Microplatforms have emerged to provide a better approximation of the in vivo scenario with better control of the structure, microenvironment and stimuli. This review summarized the basic technology of microfluidic chips in CNS and the application in CNS diseases. In addition, the research of microfluidic chip in CNS diseases has been also prospected. We also highlight challenges that can be addressed with interdisciplinary efforts to achieve more biomimicry.

RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
