The Present and Future Role of Microfluidics for Protein and Peptide-Based Therapeutics and Diagnostics

The implementation of peptide-based molecules within the medical field has vast potential, owing to their unique nature and predictable physicochemical profiles. However, peptide therapeutic usage is hindered by delivery-related challenges, meaning that formulations must be altered overcome these limitations. This process could propelled applying microfluidics (MFs) due its highly controllable adaptable attributes; however, research this extremely limited. Peptides possess multifunctional roles formulations, ranging from enhancing target specificity acting as active component medicine. Diagnostically, MFs are well explored in peptides, provide an unsullied platform fast yet accurate examinations. capacity add attributes, such integrated sensors microwells, MF chip, only enhances attractiveness a diagnostic platform. structural individuality peptides makes them prime candidates for purposes, example, antigen detection isolation. Therefore, review provides useful insight into current applications therapy diagnostics highlights potential gaps or optimized.
