Abstract

This review outlines the current status of microfluidic devices used to study the physiology and pathophysiology of pancreatic islets of Langerhans, mainly focusing on the design features and specialized applications of existing microfluidic devices, as well as their advantages and limitations. This review then briefly concludes by describing future perspectives on ways to improve and implement microfluidic technology for islet study.
