Neurotoxicity Tests Could Become Faster

According to researchers at the University of Dortmund, in Germany, neurotoxicity analysis could become in the very near future a lot faster and easier to perform, and will also return more accurate results. All of this will be made possible by a new microfluidic device (a lab-on-a-chip) that... [ read more >> ]
