We are glad to announce that our latest study “Micro-electrode channel guide (µECG) technology: an online method for continuous electrical recording in a human beating heart-on-chip” is now on-line on Biofabrication.
In this paper we present a new device capable of monitoring the electrical activity of beating cardiac microtissues, together with a proof-of-concept pharmacological validation.
This work is the result of a great collaboration between Academia (Politecnico di Milano) and Industries (BiomimX® Srl & Accelera Srl).

Upcoming webinar! Within the SINERGIA framework we are glad to announce that professor Paul Bourgine will be the first speaker of our webinars series, invited by BiomimX® Srl. Prof. Bourgine’s laboratory targets the development of miniaturized human bone organs (hOssicles) in mice to be used as advanced model of healthy and malignant human hematopoiesis. This talk will first cover how embryonic processes can be harnessed for the engineering of hOssicles. The advantages of the hOssicle approach as opposed to standard in vitro and in vivo models will be discussed.
