  • Microfluidic devices, systems, and methods for investigating three-dimensional cellular structures
    Patent number: 12110479
    Abstract: This disclosure includes microfluidic devices, systems, and methods for investigating three-dimensional (3D) cell structures (e.g., organoids, spheroids, scaffolds, hydrogels, and the like). Some examples of the present microfluidic devices comprise: a body having a first end, a second end, to lateral edges, an upper side, a lower side, a first layer region between a medial plane of the body and the lower side, and a second layer region between the medial plane and the upper side. In some such examples, the first layer region defines one or more rows of wells, with each well open at the medial plane and having a bottom between the medial plane and the lower side.
