Spinal Cord Injury-on-a-Chip Model Introduction

Creative Biolabs' spinal cord injury-on-a-chip model is a valuable tool for investigating neuronal damage at a cellular level. A specified, reproducible mechanical force has been developed to allow understanding of the complex biomedical mechanisms of spinal cord injuries and the therapeutic strategies for this condition.

Formation of Spinal Cord Injury-on-a-chip Model

The stretch model of our labs' neuronal injury utilizes a flexible substrate on which adherent neurons are cultured. Injury to the cell population is then applied through a substrate. The chip model has two mini-well compartments separated by micro-channels.
