Abstract

Bio-microfluidic technologies offer promising applications in diagnostics and therapy, yet they face significant technical challenges, particularly in the need for external power sources, which limits their practicality and user-friendliness. Recent advancements have explored innovative methods utilizing body fluids, motion, and heat to power these devices, addressing the power supply issue effectively. Among these, body-motion and body-heat-powered systems stand out for their potential to create self-sustaining, wearable, and implantable devices. In this Perspective, we focus on the principles and applications of hydrovoltaic cells, biofuel cells, and piezoelectric and triboelectric nanogenerators. Recent strides in energy conversion efficiency, coupled with the development of biocompatible and durable materials, are driving innovation in bio-integrated electronics. Integration with bio-microfluidic platforms further enhances the linkage to the human body and the potential of these devices for personalized healthcare applications. Ongoing research into these areas promises to deliver sustainable and user-friendly solutions for continuous monitoring, diagnostics, and therapy, potentially revolutionizing the landscape of healthcare delivery.

期刊介绍： Biomicrofluidics (BMF) is an online-only journal published by AIP Publishing to rapidly disseminate research in fundamental physicochemical mechanisms associated with microfluidic and nanofluidic phenomena. BMF also publishes research in unique microfluidic and nanofluidic techniques for diagnostic, medical, biological, pharmaceutical, environmental, and chemical applications. BMF offers quick publication, multimedia capability, and worldwide circulation among academic, national, and industrial laboratories. With a primary focus on high-quality original research articles, BMF also organizes special sections that help explain and define specific challenges unique to the interdisciplinary field of biomicrofluidics. Microfluidic and nanofluidic actuation (electrokinetics, acoustofluidics, optofluidics, capillary) Liquid Biopsy (microRNA profiling, circulating tumor cell isolation, exosome isolation, circulating tumor DNA quantification) Cell sorting, manipulation, and transfection (di/electrophoresis, magnetic beads, optical traps, electroporation) Molecular Separation and Concentration (isotachophoresis, concentration polarization, di/electrophoresis, magnetic beads, nanoparticles) Cell culture and analysis(single cell assays, stimuli response, stem cell transfection) Genomic and proteomic analysis (rapid gene sequencing, DNA/protein/carbohydrate arrays) Biosensors (immuno-assay, nucleic acid fluorescent assay, colorimetric assay, enzyme amplification, plasmonic and Raman nano-reporter, molecular beacon, FRET, aptamer, nanopore, optical fibers) Biophysical transport and characterization (DNA, single protein, ion channel and membrane dynamics, cell motility and communication mechanisms, electrophysiology, patch clamping).
