title = "Characterization of retinal pigment epithelial cells and endothelial cells within a microfluidic device towards a retina on a chip",
abstract = "This paper reports a cell-based model of the ocular fundus within a microfluidic device. The characterization of human retinal pigment epithelial (ARPE) cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) cultured in the device was performed and found to exhibit properties found in native tissues. Also, in order to extend the culture model to an evaluation system for a drug delivery system (DDS) device, a microfluidic device was hybridized with native scleral tissues.",
