Imagine predicting if a blood clot is fatal using a chip the size of a memory stick! Scientists funded by the NC3Rs and @TheBHF are developing non-animal methods to investigate how clots form and drugs to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT), stroke and coronary heart disease🧵
PhD researcher Hosam @Baksamawii in @FrontCVMedicine shows a ‘vein-on-a-chip’ with microscopic moving valves that open and close allowing researchers to study how blood flow affects clot formation in DVT replacing the use of mice in some studies. https://t.co/ZLM79T6yXN
Here's our latest paper on platelet accumulation in an endothelium-coated advanced vein-on-chip in vitro model to better understand DVT @FrontCVMedicine. Well done @Baksamawii, @AlexanderBrill8,@AlessioAlexiad1! https://t.co/YxgjKeTENd
Great way to start the day! Enjoying breakfast with the @SydneyNano#NanoHealth Network re-capping on 2022 and looking beyond into 2023! Fantastic #leadership & inspiring #research // Want to know more👉👉 https://t.co/Pa8FXRHRjU
