Microfluidic approaches for epithelial cell layer culture and characterisation.
In higher eukaryotes, epithelial cell layers line most body cavities and form selective barriers that regulate the exchange of solutes between compartments. In order to fulfil these functions, the cells assume a polarised architecture and maintain two distinct plasma membrane domains, the apical domain facing the lumen and the basolateral domain facing other cells and the extracellular matrix. ...
متن کاملMicrofluidic approaches for engineering vasculature
Introduction Vascularization of biomaterials — whether for envisioned applications in tissue engineering or for use in ‘organ-ona-chip’ devices — remains a challenging problem, as a quick glance at many of the reviews in this issue reveals. Traditional methods of vascularization, based on the controlled release of angiogenic factors or on the selforganization of vascular cells into open tubes, ...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Enabling Platform for Cell-based Assays
We have developed proprietary technologies for executing continuous flow assays in biochips which mimic human capillaries. Such technologies are integral to the rapidly growing laboratory instrumentation sector for applications in drug discovery, biotechnology, medical diagnostics and environmental studies. A common link between all sectors is the movement toward miniaturization to increase thr...
متن کاملGelatin based microfluidic devices for cell culture.
We have developed a technique for fabricating microfluidic devices from gelatin using a natural crosslinking process. Gelatin, crosslinked with the naturally occurring enzyme transglutaminase is molded to produce microchannels suitable for adherent cell culture and analysis. The autofluorescence of the material was shown to be minimal and within the range of typical background, ensuring utility...
متن کاملCystic fibrosis: molecular approaches to diagnosis.
Whole blood collected on filter paper (Guthrie cards) has provided an excellent means for screening inborn errors of metabolism in neonates. Traditional biochemical methods adapted for use with this collection device have proven instrumental in the detection of many congenital defects such as phenylketonuria, galactosemia, hypothyroidism and hemoglobinopathies. The advent of molecular technique...
