👉 Cap engineering, also known as capillary engineering or capillary-based engineering, is a specialized field that focuses on the manipulation and utilization of capillaries for various applications, particularly in biomedical and materials science contexts. This discipline leverages the unique properties of capillaries, such as their extremely small diameter and high surface area-to-volume ratio, to design systems for drug delivery, tissue engineering, and microfluidic devices. Techniques in capillary engineering include the creation of microchannels and networks that mimic natural capillary structures, enabling precise control over fluid flow and the transport of molecules. By engineering these micro-scale environments, researchers can develop advanced therapies for targeted drug delivery, enhance tissue regeneration through controlled cell growth, and create sophisticated microfluidic platforms for diagnostics and research.
