This proposal focuses on the development of a microfluidic system designed to replicate the biological conditions required for vascular angiogenesis. To achieve this, a multi-channel architecture will be implemented to establish a differential field of conditions, inducing cells to migrate between channels and sprout new blood vessels.
Success depends on the integration of hydrogels and chemical gradients, strategically placed to provide the precise stimuli necessary for cellular mobilization.
