Microtechnology for life science engineering. This issue of Engineering in Life Sciences edited by Michael Köhler, TU Ilmenau, Germany, features articles covering the large spectrum of recent developments using miniaturized systems in biotechnology, e.g. biomedical diagnostics, miniaturized bioreactors for 3D cell cultivation, microlithography and microfluidics.
