Two Compartment Model for Detecting the Toxicity of Liver Metabolites
Overview Liver toxicity is a significant reason many new drugs fail in clinical trials. Primary human hepatocytes (PHHs) are the current gold standard for in vitro liver models; however, they have a number of limitations. We have invented an easy-to-use two-compartment device that provides in vitro 3D high-throughput prediction for safety assessments...

Method for Making Small Diameter Living Tubes
Overview We have developed a funnel-guide device for the noncontact manipulation and positioning of multicellular microtissues, to build macrotissues layer by layer. One specific application is the fabrication of biological tubes. Market Opportunity A long-standing problem in 3D tissue engineering is how to fabricate large tissue constructs with...

Biological Pick, Place, and Perfuse "BioP3" - Device to Engineer Thick Living Tissues with High Cell Density (Case 2220) (EA)
Engineering Thick Living Tissues with High Cell Density Overview The ability to build organs in vitro will have a far-reaching impact on the field of tissue engineering, as well as other areas of research that use animals. Cells cultured in 3D mimic native tissues and organs much more effectively than do those cultured in 2D. While significant advances...

Screening Method for Inhibitors of Multidrug-Resistance Transporters (Case 2079)
Novel Screening Method for Inhibitors of Multidrug-Resistant Transporters Overview Drug transport is of fundamental importance to the efficacy and toxicity of all drugs. From the route of administration to the site of action, a drug encounters numerous biological barriers, including efflux pumps that pump drugs out of cells. Our novel method uses...
