SMORES: a simple microfluidic operating room for the examination and surgery of Stentor coeruleus
Abstract Ciliates are powerful unicellular model organisms that have been used to elucidate fundamental biological processes.However, the high motility of ciliates Lip presents a major challenge in studies using live-cell microscopy and microsurgery.While various immobilization methods have been developed, they are physiologically disruptive to the
