Microfluid Platform to Screen Cancer Drug for Delivery

Summary

Researchers at Purdue University have developed a microfluidic platform to simulate a 3D tumor vasculature system. This innovative platform can mimic the complex transport processes inside a tumor, such as transvascular transport, interstitial transport, and transmembrane transport. These processes are all simulated on a single benchtop device, thus improving the repeatability and speed of testing, while reducing the cost and use of animals in drug discovery.
