Microcirculation-on-a-Chip: A Microfluidic Platform for Assaying Blood- and Lymphatic-Vessel Permeability
We developed a microfluidic model of microcirculation containing both blood and lymphatic vessels for examining vascular permeability. The designed microfluidic device harbors upper and lower channels that are partly aligned and are separated by a porous membrane, and on this membrane, blood vascular endothelial cells (BECs) and lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) were cocultured back-to-back. A...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Microfluidic Platform to Investigate Effect of Dissolved Gases on Small Blood Vessel Function
In this thesis I present a microfluidic platform developed to control dissolved gases and monitor dissolved oxygen concentrations within the microenvironment of isolated small blood vessels. Dissolved gas concentrations are controlled via permeation through the device substrate material using a 3D network of gas and liquid channels. Dissolved oxygen concentrations are measured on-chip via fluor...
متن کاملA microfluidic flow-stretch chip for investigating blood vessel biomechanics.
This microfluidic flow-stretch chip integrates fluid shear stress (FSS) and cyclic stretch (CS), two major mechanical stimulations in cardiovascular systems, for cultured cells. The model chip can deliver FSS and CS simultaneously or independently to vascular cells to mimic the haemodynamic microenvironment of blood vessels in vivo. By imposing FSS-only, CS-only, and FSS+CS stimulation on rat m...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Platform for Detecting Malaria Infected Avian Red Blood Cells
A microfluidic platform is designed, fabricated, tested, and demonstrated that the unique surface morphologies of avian red blood cells (aRBCs) infected by the malaria parasite Plasmodium gallinaceum enables the cells to interact with the roughened surface and become immobilized inside the microfluidic channels. It is also found that a roughened glass substrate with ten-point-height larger than...
متن کاملMicrofluidic tectonics: a comprehensive construction platform for microfluidic systems.
A microfluidic platform for the construction of microscale components and autonomous systems is presented. The platform combines liquid-phase photopolymerization, lithography, and laminar flow to allow the creation of complex and autonomous microfluidic systems. The fabrication of channels, actuators, valves, sensors, and systems is demonstrated. Construction times can be as short as 10 min, pr...
