Abstract excerpt
With conventional in vitro culture methods, it is difficult to study complex interactions of host cells with pathogens and drugs in physiologically relevant microenvironments. To simulate orthopaedic implant-associated infection, a multi-channel microfluidic device was used to (1) observe in real-time the development of osteoblasts into three-dimensional (3D) tissue-like structures and (2) study how this...
