Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a microfluidic devices and methods for culturing bone marrow cells. Aspects include methods of preparing microfluidic devices and culturing bone marrow cells with the microfluidic devices. In some aspects, a method includes providing a microfluidic device having an upper chamber, a lower chamber, and a porous membrane separating the upper chamber from the lower chamber. The method further includes seeding walls of the lower chamber and a bottom surface of the membrane with endothelial cells. The method further includes providing a matrix within the upper chamber. The matrix includes fibrin gel and bone marrow cells. The method further includes filling or perfusing the upper chamber with a media.

Abstract: An organ-on-chip device for monitoring a biological function and including a membrane layer located at an interface region between a top microchannel and the a microchannel. The membrane includes a first type of cells forming a barrier between the top microchannel and the bottom microchannel. The device further includes a top layer having a first plurality of transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) measurement electrodes for enabling direct monitoring of cell function and electrical activity of the first type of cells on the membrane. The device also has a multi-electrode array (MEA) layer with a second plurality of TEER measurement electrodes for enabling direct monitoring of cell function and electrical activity of a second type of cells on the MEA layer.

Abstract: This disclosure provides, e.g., methods for coupling an entity to a solid substrate. The method can comprise treating the substrate with a plasma, e.g., a CO2 plasma, to increase its reactivity. The entity can be, e.g., a biological polymer that binds a microbe. Substrates produced by these methods can be used in a variety of applications, including hemodialysis and diagnostic assays.

Abstract: A device is directed to simulating a function of a tissue, and includes a first structure defining a first chamber, a second structure defining a second chamber, and a porous membrane located at an interface region between the first chamber and the second chamber. The membrane has a first side facing toward the first chamber and a second side facing toward the second chamber, the membrane separating the first chamber from the second chamber. The first side includes a fluid-permeable, stimulus-responsive polymer gel thereon, the second side including at least one layer of cells adhered thereon.

Abstract: [005841 Described herein are engineered microbe-targeting or microbe-binding molecules, kits comprising the same and uses thereof. Some particular embodiments of the microbe targeting or microbe-binding molecules comprise a carbohydrate recognition domain of mannose-binding lectin, or a fragment thereof, linked to a portion of a Fc region. In some embodiments, the microbe-targeting molecules or microbe-binding molecules can be conjugated to a substrate, e.g., a magnetic microbead, forming a microbe-targeting substrate (e.g., a microbe-targeting magnetic microbead). Such microbe-targeting molecules and/or substrates and the kits comprising the same can bind and/or capture of a microbe and/or microbial matter thereof, and can thus be used in various applications, e.g., diagnosis and/or treatment of an infection caused by microbes such as sepsis in a subject or any environmental surface. Microbe-targeting molecules and/or substrates can be regenerated after use by washing with a low pH buffer or buffer in which calcium is insoluble.

Abstract: A low-oxygen system is directed to culturing a diverse microbiome and includes an anaerobic chamber and at least one microfluidic device removably inserted in the anaerobic chamber. The microfluidic device includes a first microchannel in which a first level of oxygen is maintained, and a second microchannel in which a second level of oxygen is maintained, the second level of oxygen having a greater oxygen concentration than the first level of oxygen. The microfluidic device further includes a membrane located at an interface region between the first microchannel and the second microchannel, the membrane further having a plurality of pores via which oxygen flows from the second microchannel to the first microchannel to form an oxygen gradient in the first microchannel. The system further includes a culture system provided in the first microchannel and including oxygen-sensitive anaerobic bacteria.
