Models derived from the latter, such as spheroids or organoids are more similar to the in-vivo environment and thus should be considered for drug testing. When entwined with a microfluidic platform imply powerful assay advantages like control media flow, minute cell, and reagents requisition during the culture. In this work, the novel approach is to cultivate healthy and diseased organoids in the same microfluidic platform through a controlled microvalve. Design and simulation are performed using AUTOCAD, CLEWIN, and COMSOL. The novel micropillar microfluidic device was fabricated using photolithography followed by soft lithography. The fabricated device is temporarily bonded to a glass slide through the double tape to check the fluid flow. The phenomenon is visualized by subjecting a solution of methylene blue across the device.
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.
