In the lab, we micro-pattern channels in the biomaterials on which we grow the cells, and this allows us to flow the cell culture media, the cells' food, through the scaffolds where we're growing the cells -- a lot like what you might expect from a capillary bed in the heart.
I laboratoriet former vi i mikro mønstre, kanaler i biomaterialet hvorpå vi dyrker cellerne. Det giver os mulighed for at få en slags strøm igennem folderne i cellekultur mediet, cellernes mad, der hvor vi dyrker cellerne -- det er en hel del som man ville forvente i et af hjertets kapillære kammer.
