Congratulations to the Lab of William Polacheck, Ph.D., an MHI member and Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering; Member, Cell Biology and Physiology Curriculum, UNC Medicine; Member, Comparative Medicine Institute, NCSU, for publishing a new microfluidic platform for vascular biology in Biofabrication.
Dr. Gi-Hun Lee and colleagues in the lab addressed shortcomings with previous vascular organ-on-chip models by developing a system that allows simultaneous application of luminal and transmural flow to blood and lymphatic vessels, more closely mimicking the native hemodynamic environment.
