  • Microfluidic System for Reproducing Functional Units of Tissues and Organs In Vitro
    Publication number: 20150240194
    Abstract: A microfluidic system for generating compartmentalized microenvironments of tissues and organs in vitro and for independently perfusing the compartments. A microfluidic device that includes at least a first perfusion path and a second separate perfusion path. The microfluidic device also has a chamber containing a matrix, where the matrix surrounds at least one void whose lumen is in fluidic connection exclusively with the first perfusion path, where the at least one void can be populated with at least one cell type in such way that the cells are in direct contact with the matrix and the matrix is in fluidic connection exclusively with the second separate perfusion path.
