The paper develops isogenic lung-on-chip models from iPSC-derived cells to study tissue-specific immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza viruses.

This paper introduces a microcirculation culture method that creates a self-organized capillary network, enabling perfusion and observation of vascular remodeling and cell behavior.

The paper designs microtubules with controlled electrical and mechanical properties to enable directional sorting in microfluidic devices, achieving 80% efficiency in separating stiff from negatively-charged microtubules.
