A body cube for culturing tissue that includes: an organ chip holder; and a body barrier chip and a first body organ chip disposed in the organ chip holder, the first body organ chip including a first cell culture chamber that receives cell culture medium and produces a first tissue in the first
This invention describes a microphysiologic body cube that holds multiple organ chips and that can be operated with near physiologic amounts of blood surrogate. The invention can be used to culture multiple tissues with near-physiologic amounts of blood surrogate within one systems. Microphysiologic
The invention is a gravity-operated microphysiological system that is open and that holds cell culture medium inside its fluidic channels via surface tension. The system uses gravity to drive fluidic flow, and a rotating platform or a rocking platform to control fluid residence times in its organ
