Microfluidic devices advance 3-D tissue engineering at Stevens

A research team, co-headed by Dr Woo Lee and Dr Hongjun Wang of Stevens Institute of Technology, has published a paper describing a new method that generates three-dimensional (3D) tissue models for studying bacterial infection of orthopaedic implants. Dr Joung-Hyun Lee of Stevens, and Dr Jeffrey Kaplan of the New Jersey Dental School, are co-authors of the research. Their paper, appearing in the journal Tissue Engineering, demonstrates a physiologically relevant approach for studying infection prevention strategies and emulating antibiotic delivery using 3D bone tissues cultured in microfluidic devices...
