Hesperos' Body-On-A-Chip System Is Compact and Reconfigurable; Can Contain up to Five Tissues in the (IMAGE)
Caption
The pumpless system rocks back and forth to recirculate the medium, and has electrodes for stimulating the tissues, and connections to interface with measurement systems. Coverslips (1, 3, and 5) and microfabricated chips, including chips with microscale cantilevers (2) for measuring force and electrodes (4) for electrical monitoring in the tissue, can be included in the system in a number of configurations. The tissues included can be liver, heart, cancer, bone marrow, skeletal muscle, spinal cord neurons, brain neurons, and others. The system is easy to assemble and operate, and take up only a small amount of space, at about 2.5" in width, and 4.5" in length.
