Size Matters for Particles in Our Bloodstream

Caption

University of Connecticut researchers used a fluorescence microscope to illuminate a microfluidic device that simulates a blood vessel. The research team was able to observe and measure how particles of different sizes behave in the bloodstream. Their finding, that particle size matters, could aid the development of more effective cancer drugs.
