}There are many efforts today trying to mimic the pr operties of single cells in order to design chips that are a s efficient as cells. However, cells are nature’s nanotechnology engineer i g at the scale of atoms and molecules. Therefore, it might be better to envision a microchip that utilizes a single cell as an experim ntation platform. A novel so-called Lab-in-a-Cell (LIC) concept is desc ribed, where advantage is taken of micro/nanotechnological tools to enable precise control of the…
