Microfluidic device shows that antiperspirants control sweating by forming pore-plugging aggregates with perspiration proteins

Researchers in France have made a microfluidic device that mimics sweat glands, showing that deodorants work by forming aggregates with perspiration proteins that block sweat pores.
