Heart Attack On A Chip: Scientists Model Conditions Of Ischemia On A Microfluidic Device

Researchers invented a microfluidic chip containing cardiac cells that is capable of mimicking hypoxic conditions following a heart attack - specifically when an artery is blocked in the heart and then unblocked after treatment. The chip can be used to monitor electrophysiological and molecular response of the cells to heart attack conditions in real time.
