Investigation of endothelial growth using a sensors-integrated microfluidic system to simulate physiological barriers

In this paper we present a microfluidic system based on transparent biocompatible polymers with a porous membrane as substrate for various cell types which allows the simulation of various physiological barriers under continuous laminar flow conditions at distinct tunable shear rates. Besides live c...
