Creative Biolabs has put efforts into the production of the ALS disease-on-chip model to meet the need for the development of new, effective therapies for treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) disease. The models in our lab will streamline drug development studies, subsequently enhancing candidate drug selection for a wide variety of neuromuscular disorders.
The microfabricated motor unit mimic device uses polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannels to form four sites on a single chip, each of which includes medium reservoirs, gel injection ports, and compartments for culturing neuron spheroids.

Applications
ALS disease-on-a-chip model has rapidly evolved in recent years and will further your understanding of NMJ defects in ALS. ALS Chip model at Creative Biolabs incorporates patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), enabling the generation of patient-specific disease models. Researchers can develop more effective and precise treatment strategies with our ALS Chip.
Besides the ALS disease-on-a-chip model, there are alternative options worth considering:
Enhancing our comprehensive array of disease-on-a-chip models, Creative Biolabs now offers a suite of 3D biology-based services as listed below, to help study the pathophysiological mechanism and develop promising therapeutic strategies to a larger extent.
