Blood-vessel-on-chip to study vascular malformations caused by PIK3CA mutations
Researchers at the University of North Carolina have created a model that mimics vascular malformations (VMs) that are specifically caused by a mutation of PIK3CA. The researchers created a microfluidic model of these VMs using human cells that have the mutated gene. They found that the abnormal blood vessels in their model closely resemble the…
