We describe a protocol for the microfabrication of the gradient-generating microfluidic device that can generate spatial and temporal gradients in well-defined microenvironment. In this approach, the gradient-generating microfluidic device can be used to study directed cell migration, embryogenesis, wound healing, and cancer metastasis.

The video demonstrates the formation of neuromuscular junctions using a microfluidic device. Neural precursor cells and muscle progenitor cells are seeded into different wells within the device and left to mature into motor neurons and myotubes, respectively. The creation of a volume and chemical gradient leads to the development of active neuromuscular junctions.

Microfluidic double emulsions generation typically involves devices with patterned wettability or custom-fabricated glass components. Here we describe the fabrication and testing of an all polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) double emulsion generator that does not require surface treatment or complicated fabrication processes, and is capable of producing double emulsions down to 14 µm.

This video demonstrates the procedure for inducing traumatic brain injury (TBI) in a mouse model. An anesthetized mouse with an exposed skull is taken to create an opening in the skull, and then a controlled cortical injury is induced using an impact device. The injury damages the brain tissue, causing impaired cognitive function and motor coordination.
FAQs
In behavior science, the device can function as a communication alternative when a person’s needs, choices, or ideas are difficult to express through natural speech. By making those messages available through a selectable response, it may help connect communication with social interaction and offer an alternative to behavior that occurs when communication is difficult.
Input access determines how a person selects a message, not what the message means. Touchscreens, switches, keyboards, and eye gaze provide different routes for choosing words, symbols, letters, or programmed messages. This flexibility matters because the communication system can support users with different ways of interacting with the device.
Efficiency matters because communication is more useful when a person can select a relevant message rather than remain without an accessible response. In behavioral contexts, an available and efficient alternative may support functional communication, participation, and independence. Researchers can therefore examine whether communication support changes social interaction or other behavior.
Selection can be made through touchscreen input, switch access, keyboard entry, or eye gaze. The available vocabulary may include words, symbols, letters, or programmed messages. Together, these access routes and message formats provide practical means for expressing needs, choices, and ideas through synthesized or recorded speech.
It is relevant when investigators or clinicians want to examine communication as part of social interaction and behavior. The device can provide an observable way for a person to express needs, choices, or ideas, allowing attention to how communication supports affect participation, independence, and behavior.
Relevant outcomes include whether the person can participate more readily, communicate with greater independence, and use an alternative when communication is difficult. Researchers and clinicians may also examine changes in social interaction and behavior, keeping the focus on how the support affects functional communication.
