Every Breath You Take: Non-invasive Real-Time Oxygen Biosensing in Two- and Three-Dimensional Microfluidic Cell Models.
Helene Zirath,Mario Rothbauer,Sarah Spitz,Barbara Bachmann,Christian Jordan,Bernhard Müller,Josef Ehgartner,Eleni Priglinger,Severin Mühleder,Heinz Redl,Wolfgang Holnthoner,Michael Harasek,Torsten Mayr,Peter Ertl +13 more
TL;DR: Two different microfluidic devices containing embedded sensor arrays are developed to monitor local oxygen levels to investigate oxygen consumption rates of 2D and 3D hydrogel-based cell cultures and the establishment of oxygen gradients within cell culture chambers, and how dynamic control of cyclic normoxic-hypoxic cell microenvironments can be readily accomplished using programmable flow profiles employing both gas-impermeable and gas- permeable microfluidity biochips.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stiffness Matters: Fine-Tuned Hydrogel Elasticity Alters Chondrogenic Redifferentiation.
Barbara Bachmann,Sarah Spitz,Barbara Schädl,Andreas H. Teuschl,Heinz Redl,Sylvia Nürnberger,Peter Ertl +6 more
TL;DR: Results show that fibrin hydrogels of 30 kPa Young’s modulus best guide chondrocyte redifferentiation resulting in a native-like morphology as well as induces the synthesis of physiologic ECM constituents such as glycosaminoglycans (sGAG) and collagen type II.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of four functional biocompatible pressure-sensitive adhesives for rapid prototyping of cell-based lab-on-a-chip and organ-on-a-chip systems.
Sebastian R.A. Kratz,Christoph Eilenberger,Patrick Schuller,Barbara Bachmann,Sarah Spitz,Peter Ertl,Mario Rothbauer +6 more
TL;DR: Characterization of four functional biomedical-grade pressure sensitive adhesives for rapid prototyping applications including structuring precision, physical and optical properties as well as biocompatibilities shows that both simple and complex microdevices can be designed, fabricated and tested in less than 1 hour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Engineering of three-dimensional pre-vascular networks within fibrin hydrogel constructs by microfluidic control over reciprocal cell signaling
Barbara Bachmann,Sarah Spitz,Mario Rothbauer,Christian Jordan,Michaela Purtscher,Helene Zirath,Patrick Schuller,Christoph Eilenberger,Syed Faheem Ali,Severin Mühleder,Eleni Priglinger,Michael Harasek,Heinz Redl,Wolfgang Holnthoner,Peter Ertl +14 more
TL;DR: Finite volume CFD simulations of different sized molecules vital for pre-vascular network formation into and out of the hydrogel constructs found that interstitial flow enhances growth factor supply to the cells in the bulk of the chamber but elutes cellular secretome, resulting in truncated, premature vascularization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Establishment of a human three-dimensional chip-based chondro-synovial coculture joint model for reciprocal cross talk studies in arthritis research.

TL;DR: In this paper, a chip-based three-dimensional tissue coculture model that simulates the reciprocal cross talk between individual synovial and chondral organoids was established.
