More realistic toxicity tests: new microfluidic platform will be made available to external users
Microfluidic device makes it possible to cultivate three-dimensional cells and perform toxicity testing on drugs, nanomaterials and environmental pollutants in conditions more closely resembling humans and animals Researchers from the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) have developed a reversible microfluidic platform for cultivating cells in three-dimensional (3D) structures and testing drugs…
