Abstract

Microfluidic analysis system for microscopic pharmacology handling single cells was demonstrated in this paper, which included the stimulation only on a local area of the target cell by using the laminar flowing of drug solutions and the systemic monitoring of the effect evoked on the whole cell. By this system, it was first elucidated that the stimulation of the tip of neurite with an apoptosis-inducing drug resulted in the expression of an apoptotic marker in the cell body as a remote position from the stimulated point. This indicates a new paradigm of microscopic pharmacology opens up here.
