    Abstract: A fluidic device can include: a plurality of fluid conduits, each fluid conduit including a first conduit portion separated from a second conduit portion; and at least one transport body that is movably positioned between the first conduit portion and the second conduit portion of each fluid conduit. The at least one transport body can include: at least one port adapted to be aligned with a first conduit portion and a second conduit portion of at least one first conduit so as to fluidly couple the first conduit portion with the second conduit portion; and at least one blocking body portion adapted to be aligned with a first conduit portion and a second conduit portion of at least one second conduit so as to fluidly isolate the first conduit portion from the second conduit portion of the at least one second conduit.

    Abstract: A cell culture device can include: an internal chamber configured for an internal cell culture that has at least one port coupled to a perfusion modulating device capable of modulating perfusion in the internal chamber; at least one fluid channel bordering the internal chamber that is configured for a channel cell culture that has at least one port coupled to a perfusion modulating device capable of modulating perfusion in the fluid channel; and a wall separating the internal chamber and at least one fluid channel having gaps that fluidly couple the internal chamber with the at least one fluid channel, wherein the perfusion modulating device causes reduced fluid flow. The internal chamber can include a first cell type and the at least one fluid channel includes a second cell type. The first cell type has an ischemic zone in the middle, a non-ischemic zone adjacent with the at least one fluid channel, and a border zone between the ischemic zone and non-ischemic zone. In one aspect, the internal chamber and at least one fluid channel are modeled from physiological features. In one aspect, the internal chamber and at least one fluid channel are modeled from idealized features.

    Abstract: The method involves computationally modeling a placenta by simulating physical placenta models with computational in silico models. The simulated data is compared with actual data from the physical models, and the simulation is iterated until a match is achieved. The method may also include calibrating diffusion parameters for testing substances, and configuring the models for analyzing instances of fluid-induced shear and substance transport. The simulated data may be used to obtain maternal-fetal pharmacokinetic in silico placenta models, and the method may be used to obtain predictions for time-dependent concentrations of molecules in fetal circulation. The computational models may consider instances of fluid-diffusive transport and carrier-mediated transport in calculations and determinations of transport characteristics and values of different testing substances.

    Abstract: A method of inducing ischemia includes: providing a cell culture device having a first cell culture in an internal chamber and a second cell culture in at least one fluid channel and a perfusion modulating system that causes changes in oxygen flow in the internal chamber and/or at least one fluid channel; flowing liquid media having oxygen through the internal chamber and at least one fluid channel of the cell culture device; modulating oxygen perfusion in the internal chamber with the perfusion modulating system by varying and selectively blocking the flow rate of at least one of the liquid media or oxygen through the internal chamber to induce varying levels of ischemia; and assaying for ischemia in the first cell culture.
