A blood-brain barrier (BBB) model is achieved by co-culturing iPSC-derived endothelial cells, human astrocytes and pericytes in microfluidic chips featuring AIM's technology. The BBB model not only exhibits physiologically relevant structures but also has permeability that is comparable to the in vivo permeability measurement in rat brain. From a recent publication in Biomaterials.
Update: A detailed protocol is available for the blood-brain barrier assay. Click on the button below:
