摘要
Bio-microelectromechanical systems (BioMEMS) have myriad applications that range from surgical tools to gene-sequencing chips. A full review of all its applications is beyond the scope of the present paper. This study is a comprehensive overview of applications of BioMEMS in the diagnosis of diseases, scientific research based on cell biology, and therapy or treatment of medical conditions. This is a review, from a biologist's perspective, of the current foci of research in these areas. The design and working principles applied are described, and progress made thus far is traced. Some of the design concepts that are likely to play an important role in future applications are also identified. Additionally, the major challenges to be overcome in order for BioMEMS technology to meet its full potential have been described. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
