Bi/ond combines feeding, stimulating and monitoring of cells in one microchip

Lab researcher with microscope

We have been featured in the latest Labvision magazine issue !

For a few months, our biology team has been using a Nikon microscope to image some of our experiments. For the moment, we have used it mostly with fixed tissue slides on the basis of fluorescence to look at the suitable expression markers of different cell types, and confirm that the barrier functions properly. 

As next step, we will also do live cell experiments with it, for instance to follow up how cells move from one to another compartment; or if you have muscle tissue in a pillar in our MUSbit™, to observe how the flow of medicine affects the muscle contraction.

If you have a hard copy of the magazine, go to pages 56-59 to read more.

PRESENTATION : Stimulating 3D Skeletal Muscle Microtissues in a Novel Perfusable Microphysiological System with Integrated Electrodes

IIm meeting talk Skeletal Muscle culture

📣 SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

Stimulating Skeletal Muscle Microtissues in a novel perfusable mucrophysiological system integrated with electrodes. This is the title of the presentation that our CTO, Nikolas Gaio, will be giving in Italy soon. The meeting of the Interuniversity Institute of Miology, is taking place in Assisi Italy, 12-15 of October.

During the session, Nikolas will talk to the audience about how Bi/ond has managed to stimulate 3D Skeletal Muscle Microtissues in our perfusable microphysiological system, incorporating integrated electrodes.

He will present the results of our assay where we successfully culture bit.bio skeletal muscle cells on our MUSbit™ platform, obtaining as a result 3D muscle bundles, and experiencing robust muscle contraction.

Do not miss this opportunity to see this ground breaking results in first person!
