Monitoring single-cell gene regulation under dynamically controllable conditions with integrated microfluidics and software

How gene regulatory pathways control cell fate decisions in single cells is not fully understood. Here the authors present an integrated dual-input microfluidic chip and a linked analysis software, enabling tracking of gene regulatory responses of single bacterial cells to changing conditions.
