1 Introduction Human gut motility plays a pivotal role in facilitating key intestinal functions, including digestion, nutrient absorption, and waste elimination, all of which have a significant impact on human health.[1] The coordinated mechanical and hydrodynamic forces generated by peristalsis and segmentation processes, such as shear flow, intestinal wall expansion, and compression directly influence the functions of the intestinal epithelium.[1] Beyond the epithelium, the human intestine...

Microfluidics for morpholomics and spatial omics applications Creative designs, precise fluidic manipulation, and automation have supported the development of microfluidics for single-cell applications. Together with the advancements in detection technologies and artificial intelligence (AI), microfluidic-assisted platforms have been increasingly used for new modalities of single-cell investigations and in spatial omics applications.
