  • Publication number: 20250092345
    Abstract: A modular bioreactor system is provided including a platform having a seat to receive a modular tissue chamber, and one or more platform interfacial members; and a releasable modular tissue chamber including a bottom surface, an open top, and sidewalls defining a well therein, the releasable modular tissue chamber configured to be received by the seat of the platform, the tissue chamber further including an interfacial member configured to releasably connect the modular tissue chamber to the platform, wherein a tissue chamber contains human bone marrow (engineered using iPS cell derived osteoblasts, osteoclasts, endothelial cells, supporting mesenchymal cells, and hematopoietic cells in bone matrix) infused by primary leukemia cells

  • Publication number: 20230287316
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for culturing systemic bioengineered tumor models, including osteosarcoma cells or breast adenocarcinoma cells derived from patients. The model includes the tumor cells on host tissues such as bone, liver, lung, and heart tissue, wherein the bone, liver, lung, and heart tissue are separated by endothelial barriers. Beneath the endothelial barriers the tissues are connected via circulation containing secreted factors and cells (e.g., tumor/immune cells).

  • Patent number: 11299714
    Abstract: A cardiac organoid containing 3-D matter of adult human heart tissue.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 11, 2016
    Date of Patent: April 12, 2022

  • Patent number: 11261413
    Abstract: A bioreactor is provided that permits engineering of multiple different tissues. The bioreactor has a series of flow paths that permit application of tissue-specific media while simultaneously innervating the various different tissues with a common media. The flow paths for the various medias are designed to prevent mixing of the various media as they simultaneously innervate the tissue.

  • Publication number: 20210230527
    Abstract: An integrated modular microphysiological system is provided which includes a two or more chambers and a vascular network which includes at least one channel. The chamber can be configured for culturing a tissue and includes a layer of endothelial cells which forms an endothelial barrier within the well. The endothelial barrier can be in fluid contact with at least one of the at least one channels in the vascular network. The endothelial barrier can also be in fluid contact with a fluid in the chamber.
