Microfluidic Cell Culture Systems

Microfluidic Cell Culture Systems, Second Edition applies the design and experimental techniques used in MEMS microfabrication and microfluidics to cell culture systems. The book serves as a professional reference, providing a practical guide to the design and fabrication of microfluidic systems and biomaterials for use in cell culture systems and human organ models.

It covers topics ranging from academic first principles of microfluidic design, to clinical translation strategies for cell culture protocols. This updated edition contains new material that strengthens the focus on in vitro models that are useful for drug discovery and development. New sections in this edition review liver organ models from an industry perspective, while other material highlights the development of organ models and systems for specific applications in disease modeling and drug safety.
