Human-coronary-artery-on-a-chip cell culture

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Human-coronary-artery-on-a-chip cell culture

The new research will include the development of a human-coronary-artery-on-a-chip, a microfluidic chip cultured with human arterial cells. Shown here is a similar microvessel mimicking chip. The new chips will be used to test the effectiveness of engineered high-density lipoproteins, or good cholesterol, in fighting atherosclerosis. Credit: Georgia Tech / Tony Kim lab
