developed a low-cost tissue-engineering perfusion circuit that facilitates the growth of large cellular constructs while enabling repeated live-imaging. Our devices can easily be replicated, with an ease of customization that makes them vitally effective for bench-to-bedside translational research. Our devices allow us to move toward the in vitro generation of vascularized tissue flaps that would facilitate reconstruction of the human body without donor-site morbidity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
