Microfluidic devices have been widely used for cell studies. In this project, a hydrogel-based microfluidic device was designed to study the transformation of stem cells into cardiac cells. A Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane was sandwiched between two patterned PDMS layers to form the device. Th...
