FIG. 18.

Schematic illustration of experimental procedures of cell fusion. (a) Cells were loaded into the inlets and moved into the upper and lower microchannels due to hydraulic pressure differences; (b) cells were paired by the projected white light; (c) electric pulses were applied to trigger cell fusion; (d) after fusion, culture media were injected into each outlet chamber for on-chip cell culture.
