Muscle-on-a-Chip Model Introduction

Creative Biolabs' muscle-on-a-chip model represents a fascinating and affordable approach to shed light on understanding the mechanisms and factors involved in the development of muscular disease, which will help you in filling the gap between muscle disorders and ad hoc therapies.

Muscle-on-a-chip Model

Almost 40% of total body mass is skeletal muscle tissue which contains numerous quiescent mononucleated satellite cells undergoing intense proliferation after tissue damage to self-repair. However, there is little knowledge presented about the source and auto-paracrine impact of cytokine release in tissue regeneration.

Creative Biolabs provides an advanced technology platform for skeletal muscle-on-a-chip models aimed to develop novel treatment options for skeletal muscle disorders. Our muscle chip model provides both electrical stimulation and biological stimulation. Simultaneously, we achieve multiplexed continual in situ measurements of secreted myokines using functionalized high-sensitivity screen-printed gold electrodes.

Applications of Our Muscle-on-a-chip Model

Our setup demonstrates that microfluidics combined with tissue engineering and biosensing is an affordable approach to determining the response to external stimuli. Our muscle-on-a-chip model can be involved in the study of various muscular disease progression, furthering the understanding and treatment of muscular metabolic disorders. It can also incorporate biosensing for in situ monitoring of the status or metabolic behavior of biomimetic organs.

Advantages of Our Muscle-on-a-chip Model

  • Cost-effective.
  • Non-surface dependence.
  • Improving upon the complexity of existing in vitro disease models by building human- and patient-specific muscle platforms.
  • Mature and Highly Aligned
  • Offering standardized predictive models by mimicking physiologically relevant aspects of living tissues and organ systems.
