Our Intestine - Chip also allows researchers to
culture intestinal epithelial cells alongside other cell types, such as immune cells, and analyze how these different cell types interact.
The primary
epithelial cells are expanded as 3D organoids, dissociated, and
cultured on a porous membrane within a microfluidic device with human
intestinal microvascular endothelium
cultured in a parallel microchannel under flow and cyclic deformation.
