However, most drug tests are performed on cell monolayers that do not resemble the complex tumor microenvironment. Spheroids are advanced models, as cells in 3D configuration exhibit cell–cell interaction, cell–extracellular matrix, and cell environment more similar to a tumor environment. In this study, we show the formation of homogeneous spheroids from a low number of cells, which is crucial for personalized drug tests with cells from tissue biopsies or liquid biopsies. We introduce a novel microfluidic platform that combines microwell technology with hydrodynamic trapping, thereby combining the advantages of both methods. The platform consists of trapping units, each comprising a microwell and a filter. Initially, the microwell is located on top, and the cells are homogeneously clustered by the filters. The chip is then flipped by 180°, allowing the cells to sediment at the bottom of the microwells, where they form spheroids protected from shear stress. We show that cells can be homogeneously captured along the array, while the filter geometry controls how many cells are captured per trapping unit. We explore several designs, each with different microwell and filter dimensions. With 91.5% capture efficiency, the cell loss is minimal. After turning the chip, spheroids of homogeneous size form in the wells and expand at a growth rate of 8 μm per day. We perform drug tests and show that cisplatin affects not only the viability of spheroids, but also their structural integrity. The drug ouabain octahydrate prevents the formation of spheroids by inhibiting cell–cell adhesion. Finally, we co-culture cancer cells and polarized macrophages. Macrophages can influence the susceptibility of tumors to drugs and indeed, we observe that spheroids co-cultured with M1-polarized macrophages have a lower viability after cisplatin treatment than spheroids without macrophages. In contrast, the presence of M2-polarized macrophages reduces the effect of cisplatin with more cells of the spheroids remaining viable. In summary, this platform has great potential for personalized drug tests, when a very low number of cells are available, for example cells derived from tissue biopsy samples, or circulating tumor cells obtained from liquid biopsies.</p>","PeriodicalId":85,"journal":{"name":"Lab on a Chip","volume":" 21","pages":" 5538-5550"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/lc/d5lc00210a?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145017609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the high costs associated with proprietary instrumentation, specialized reagents, and complex workflows have limited the broad application of these techniques. In this study, we introduce Python-based robotic imaging and staining for modular spatial omics (PRISMS), an open-sourced, automated multiplexing pipeline compatible with several biospecimen targets and streamlined microscopy software tools. PRISMS utilizes a liquid handling robot with thermal control to enable the rapid and automated staining of RNA and protein samples. The modular sample holders and Python control facilitate high-throughput, single-molecule fluorescence imaging on widefield and confocal microscopes. We successfully demonstrated the versatility of PRISMS by imaging tissue slides and adherent cells. We demonstrate that PRISMS can be utilized to perform super-resolved imaging, such as super-resolution radial fluctuations (SRRF). PRISMS is a powerful tool that can be used to democratize spatial omics by providing researchers with an accessible, reproducible, and cost-effective solution for multiplex imaging. Specifically, PRISMS is an open-source, automated multiplexing pipeline for spatial omics, compatible with several sample types and Nikon NIS Elements Basic Research software, as well as Python-based biodevices. It performs high-throughput, single-molecule fluorescence imaging both on widefield and confocal microscopes, and can be used to perform super-resolved imaging, such as SRRF. Overall, PRISMS is a powerful tool that can be used to democratize spatial omics by providing researchers with an accessible, reproducible, and cost-effective solution for multiplex imaging.

Here, we explored the potential of using the CRISPR effector Cas13 to develop a new therapeutic approach for influenza A virus (IAV) infections based on its ability to specifically and robustly cleave single-strand viral RNA using a complementary CRISPR RNA (crRNA). We engineered crRNAs to target highly conserved regions in the IAV genome to create a potential pan-viral treatment strategy. A human lung alveolus chip (Lung Chip) lined by human primary alveolar epithelial cells interfaced with human primary pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells and infected with a pandemic IAV H3N2 strain was used to evaluate the on-target and off-target effects of these antiviral crRNA therapeutics. Our data show that the crRNAs targeting highly conserved regions in the IAV genome potently reduced viral replication in the alveolar airspace in the Lung Chip, and this was accompanied by suppression of the human host inflammatory response as indicated by a significant reduction in cytokine production and recruitment of immune cells. Importantly, only minimal off-target effects were observed based on transcriptomic analyses. As these crRNAs inhibit replication of influenza H1N1 and H3N2 in A549 cells as well as H3N2 in Lung Chips, these findings support use of CRISPR-Cas13 as a potentially viable approach to develop pan-IAV therapeutics for combating future influenza pandemics.

In particular, polydispersity in droplet size-common in multi-step assays-causes variation in flow velocities, where smaller droplets travel faster than larger ones. This results in the unintended co-dispensing of multiple droplets, leading to cross-contamination of hits. To address this challenge, we use blank spacing droplets as physical barriers between \"hit\" droplets to maintain consistent spacing during droplet transition. Each unit, or “drip,” consists of a single \"hit\" droplet buffered by up to 1,000 blank droplets and is dispensed individually into a well or onto agar. A distance sensor detects each drip's formation and triggers a linear motor to raise the collection plate, enabling precise and automated single-drip dispensing—even with polydisperse droplets. This approach achieves single-drip dispensing precision with 99.9% accuracy and a throughput of up to 8,640 drips per hour. We validated this system using an antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) assay, where four resistant bacterial strains were identified from a mixed population of eleven. Our method ensures reliable and automated transfer of microfluidic hits to conventional biological assays, overcoming a key limitation in droplet HTS workflows. This system offers a scalable, cost-effective, and accurate solution for integrating microfluidic screening with downstream phenotypic analysis and paves the way for more complex droplet-based biological applications requiring precise hit recovery.","PeriodicalId":85,"journal":{"name":"Lab on a Chip","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144995901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
