Classification: CPC B  C | IPC B  C

Claim 19:
20. A method of treating an emulated vascular disease with a drug, the method comprising:
obtaining the system of claim 13;
injecting the first aqueous cellular solution into the first channel to introduce a first cell of the disease to form an adventitial cell layer, 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 to form an endothelial cell layer, 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 to introduce a second cell of the disease to form a smooth muscle layer;
selecting a drug; and,
administering the drug to the first growth medium channel or the second growth medium channel;
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.
