The invention relates to a microfluidic-based body-on-a-chip device that comprises single-organ chips or discs which can be assembled at will. The design of this device allows for independent maturation of the tissue cells (modularity of the chips) and for unidirectional re-circulation of the liquid...

The invention describes a method to fabricate porous polymer membranes that are shaped in 3D to form tall villi.This microporous, polymeric membrane can be used flat or made into highly controlled microscale three-dimensionally shaped surfaces to simulate living membrane, such as villi. This membran...
