(a) Simulation with adjusted growth rates upon microfluidic system. Dynamic growth process along 11 days after seeding the cells through the microsystem inlets. Green: N2A (neural cells). Purple/dark blue: MC3T3 (osteoblast precursors). Red points indicate dead cells. (b) Actual MC3T3 and N2A cell cultures on the physical prototype of the microfluidic device. Cells were cultured and imaged at days 3(A), 5(B), 7(C) and 11(D). Live cells were stained with calcein (green) and dead cells with propidium iodide (red). Scale bar 500 μm.
