    摘要: Devices and methods are disclosed herein for a biomimetic flow apparatus. The biomimetic flow apparatus includes a microfluidic flow channel and an inlet in fluid connection with the flow channel for allowing fluid to flow into the flow channel. The flow channel has at least one surface with a topography formed therein. The topography of the at least one surface of the flow channel is selected to cause cells in a cell layer above the surface to achieve an arrangement, behavior, or morphology. The cell arrangement, behavior, or morphology is determined at least in part by the topography of the at least one surface.

    摘要: A microfluidic device for increasing convective clearance of particles from a fluid is provided. In some implementations, described herein the microfluidic device includes multiple layers that each define infusate, blood, and filtrate channels. Each of the channels have a pressure profile. The device can also include one or more pressure control features. The pressure control feature controls a difference between the pressure profiles along a length of the device. For example, the pressure control feature can control the difference between the pressure profile of the filtrate channel and the pressure profile of the blood channel. In some implementations, the pressure control feature controls the pressure difference between two channels such that the difference varies along the length of the channels by less than 50% of the pressure difference between the channels at the channels' inlets.
