  • Microengineered tissue barrier system
    Patent number: 11932839
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a microfluidic device for simulating the structure and function of an in vivo tissue barrier. Specifically, the present invention relates to a microfluidic device that can be used as a model for new drug development and toxicity assessment and the like by simulating the structure and function of a two-dimensional-three-dimensional connective tissue barrier or a three-dimensional tissue barrier and thus replacing animal models, a method of culturing cells in the microfluidic device, and a method of simulating an organ or a body part using the microfluidic device.
