Microfluidics: an Untapped Resource in Viral Diagnostics and Viral Cell Biology

Abstract: Purpose of Review Microfluidic platforms have become valuable tools in a wide variety of research environments. With the ability to allow detailed examination of an array of cell biological processes, their use in the field of virology is becoming progressively more common. This review will discuss the potential applications of microfluidics in viral cell biology and explore the potential of these techniques to alter the way in which we study the biology of infection. Recent Findings In recent years, scientist… Show more

“…OOACs have applications in preclinical drug testing and screening, as well as in drug discovery (Zhang et al, 2018). While there have been limited studies conducted using microfluidics for 3D viral culturing, the combination of a microfluidic OOAC platform and 3D cell culture can better mimic organ-specific responses and create more physiologically relevant models that can be applied to viral studies for vaccine development (Simpson et al, 2018;Tang et al, 2020). Each of the 3D cell culture techniques discussed can and has been employed in the study of various viruses, allowing more accurate modeling of viral behavior in an animal system.…”

“…Como mencionado, os riscos não se distribuem de forma simétrica na população, sendo possível identificar pessoas com maior vulnerabilidade para o desenvolvimento de doenças psiquiátricas. Assim, os grupos mais vulneráveis em termos de saúde mental incluem: (1) as pessoas que contraem a COVID-19, em particular, aquelas que apresentam fatores de risco (idade superior a 65 anos, doença cardíaca, respiratória ou oncológica e imunossupressão); (2) as pessoas com doença psiquiátrica prévia; (3) as A Universidade do Minho em tempos de pandemia (Re)Ações pessoas que sofrem de dependências; (4) as pessoas vítimas e/ou em risco de violência doméstica; (5) os profissionais de saúde; (6) os imigrantes e as pessoas que integram grupos étnicos, culturais e sexuais minoritários; (7) as pessoas em situação económico--social desfavorável, nomeadamente as pessoas sem-abrigo; ( 8) os trabalhadores do sexo; e (9) as pessoas com idade avançada, nomeadamente quando vivam isoladas (Kawohl & Nordt, 2020, p. 19; Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, 2020;Pfefferbaum & North, 2020;Platt et al, 2020).…”

“…Overall, RT-qPCR is a labor-intensive, time-consuming, and technically complex process [ 10 ] and is therefore not suitable for point of care (POC) and resource-constrained settings. Recent advances in the field of microfluidics have significantly contributed to viral diagnostics [ 11 ]. A portable microchip that incorporates magnetic beads conjugated with an anti-HIV1 biotinylated antibody can be utilized to capture HIV-1 virions from plasma samples [ 12 ] and quantify the captured virions using electrical impedance spectroscopy.…”
