Lab-on-a-chip for Urology

In an effort to make a diagnosis of diseases, to assess the treatment outcomes and to evaluate the prognosis, many investigators are currently dedicating themselves to identifying disease markers more easily through a minimally-invasive method using human samples. This has eventually improved the results of critical analysis of individual steps of the various methods. Nevertheless, much scienti...

Hybridoma: On-chip Cell Fusion Lab in a Tube Lab on a Chip

Antibodies have been used for many different applications ranging from basic biological studies to therapeutics. For example, antibodies are used in treatments as wide ranging as cancer care, autoimmune disease therapy, and to prevent rejection of transplanted organs. This requires large quantities of antibodies, which can be supplied via hybridoma generation. Hybridomas are hybrid cell lines f...

Lab Activities for Introducing Nanoscience to Teachers and Students

Nanoscience has become one of the main science fields in the world; its importance is reflected in both society and industry; therefore, it is very important to intensify educational programs among teachers and students that aim to introduce "Nano Concepts" to them. Two different lab activities were developed for demonstrating the importance of nanoscale materials using unique points of view. I...
