How.does.nanoluidics.help.them.in.passing.different.barriers?.How.do.we.design.a.better.
nanoluidic.device.for.particular.drug.and.gene.delivery?.Considering.the.complexity.of.
biological.systems,.collaborations.between.different. disciplines. such.as.biology,.physics,.
chemistry,.and.engineering.are.needed.in.these.fundamental.studies.
Finally,.heat.transfer.in.nanoluidics.is.important.since.heat.generation.and.dissipation.
affect. performances. of. electrokinetics-based. nanoluidic. devices.. Nonuniformly.
distributed. temperature. ields. can. generate. many. phenomena. such. as. a. surface. tension.
gradient,. concentration. gradient,. thermophoresis,. and. joule. heating.. Heat. transfer. in.
nanoluidics. can. be. deinitely. utilized. for. some. biomedical. applications,. although. little.
