Current Design Statement:
We are to design a tissue culture chamber that mimics a portion of the lung
for the study of asthma. This model must include the normal human stresses of
blood flow and mechanical forces applied from the airspace of the lung. It must
also support epithelial and endothelial cell layers in manner so that it is
accessible for alterations and additions through the air space and/or blood
flow. The interstitial fluid matrix must also be accessible, along with a path
of sight to the endothelial and epithelial layers after 48 hours (when test
is complete). Our design should be generally low in cost with disposable components
to allow for many experiments to be performed.
