An AI-assisted microfluidics system successfully identified just two viable sperm cells in a severe male infertility case, leading to the first clinical pregnancy achieved through this technology. While based on a single case report, it represents a significant milestone in AI-assisted reproductive medicine.
This paper presents a novel deep learning approach to predict inertial lift forces in microfluidic devices without explicit geometric parameters, enabling better generalization to unseen channel cross-sections compared to previous models.
Iku Bio has built an $8 microfluidic bioreactor on a printed circuit board that replaces $20k systems to automate and massively parallelize cell-culture media optimization for biologics manufacturing.
Researchers developed an electronics-free smart contact lens using microfluidics to continuously monitor eye pressure and automatically release glaucoma medication when needed, achieving 94% accuracy with a phone-based imaging app.
