PhD student Fahima Akther from Ta group has just published a great data paper entitled “Atherothrombosis-on-Chip: A Site-Specific Microfluidic Model for Thrombus Formation and Drug Discovery”.
The paper has been featured on the Front Cover Page of Advanced Biology Journal, Volume 6, Issue 7.
In this article, Fahima and the team conducted a study to mimic the site-specific atherothrombosis formation on the chip and design a unique microfluidic device with two interconnected microchannels. The device allows the site-specific introduction of plaque components to develop localized thrombosis and provides a universal platform for studying the crosstalk between blood cells and plaque components. The device is expected to benefit drug testing and carrier designing.
Big congratulations to Fahima and the team for your hard work.
