Image analysis for force from videos of deflected PDMS beams In the summer, Yimei Du from University of Rochester visited Truskey lab to help with the μSiM Vasc-SkM system. Besides working with the chip culture, she helped improve the image…

Since the last TraCe-bMPS update in April, we continued to explore different conditions to optimize the μSiM hVasc-SkM systems to obtain stable results.  Enhanced imaging for PDMS beams with Rhodamine staining  Previously we established a MATLAB program that detects the…

The μSiM Vasc-SkM Microphysiological development can be separated into 4 parts: Media tuning for integrated culture Force sensing element setup Assembly of the μSiM Vasc-SkM and setting up the perfusion Transendothelial Electrical Resistance (TEER) measurement of the Vast component Work…
