Assignee: CALIFORNIA NORTHSTATE COLLEGE OF PHARMACY, LLC
Field: Chemical engineering (Chemistry)
Classification: CPC B  C | IPC B  C

Claim 15:
16. A method of emulating a disease in a subject, the method comprising:
obtaining the system of claim 9;
injecting the first aqueous cellular solution into the first channel to introduce a first cell of the disease, the injecting forming the releasable, first aqueous interfacial film across the openings of the first wall;
injecting the third aqueous cellular solution into the third channel to introduce a third cell of the disease, the injecting forming the releasable, second aqueous interfacial film across the openings of the second wall; and,
injecting the second aqueous cellular solution into the second channel in the form of an aqueous gel to introduce a second cell of the disease;
wherein,
the first interfacial film releases after the injecting of the second aqueous solution;
the second interfacial film releases after the injecting of the second aqueous solution;
the first cell and the second cell communicate after the releasing of the first interfacial film to emulate the disease state; and,
the second cell and the third cell communicate after the releasing of the second interfacial film to emulate the disease state.
