Lung-On-A-Chip Kit (CAT#: DBFF1-HX3)

Overview

Lung-On-A-Chip is a novel air liquid interface model mimicking lung architecture. The microfluidic device is functionalized with epithelial cells surrounded by vasculature comprised of endothelial cells. The structure maintains an air-liquid interface across the airway cells. As a result, airway tubules form and transport mucus and are maintained by the surrounding epithelium. Cell morphology, airway structure, cell-cell interactions, and functions of the airway (e.g. mucus transport, ciliary beating, therapeutic-induced improvements) can be visualized and quantified in real-time in both normal and diseased conditions.
