Abstract

We present a double-layer collagen microtube device for in vitro perfusable multilayered 3D cell culture. Thicknesses of the collagen layers in the microtube can flexibly designed, and heterogeneous types of cells can be co-cultured in each collagen layer or surfaces. Moreover, while our collagen tube is directly attached to silicone tubes, the collagen microtube can be easily connected to an external pump system for perfusion culture. We believe that our device could help easy fabrication of various tissue models mimicking in vivo, especially blood vessel models or vascularized skin models, and contribute to the development of pharmacokinetic testing platforms and regenerative medicine.
