Placenta-on-a-chip: a novel platform to study the biology of the human placenta
15 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Studying the biology of the human placenta represents a major experimental challenge. Although conventional cell culture techniques have been used to study different types of placenta-derived cells, current in vitro models have limitations in recapitulating organ-specific structure and key physiological functions of the placenta. Here we demonstrate that it is possible to leverage microfluidic and...
