Twenty years of islet-on-a-chip: microfluidic tools for dissecting islet metabolism and function
Romario Regeenes, Jonathan V. Rocheleau
Abstract
-consumption rate) achieved primarily by adopting a microscopy-compatible optical window into the devices. By critical assessment of these advancements, we aim to inspire the development of new devices by the microfluidics community and accelerate the adoption of islet-on-a-chip devices by the wider diabetes research and clinical communities.
