报告：From Microfluidic Cell Culture to Organs on A Chip
Microfluidic cell culture and co-culture represent a promising field that microfluidics can make a revolutionary impact to cell biology. In this talk, I will discuss
our research on several microfluidic platforms that enable new assays in cell biology studies. First, I will present a class of microfluidic valve-enabled cell
co-culture platforms. Through manipulating media exchange between cell populations, the platform enables novel assays to observe the dynamic process
of synapse formation in the central nervous system, to dissect the function of glia cells in neuronal activities, and to probe specific molecules in tumor
angiogenesis and metastasis. Next, I will discuss the effects of mechanical stress in normal tissue-fibroblast activation and genesis of cancer associated
fibroblasts. The important mechanotransduction mechanism might play a critical role in tumor progression. The last topic will be some new progress in
culturing whole organ, retina, on a chip.
