Inflammatory cardiomyopathy, also known as myocarditis, is an acquired cardiomyopathy characterized by inflammatory cell infiltration into the myocardium with a high risk of progression to deteriorated cardiac function. Recently, amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the emergence of acute myocarditis as a complication of SARS-CoV-2 has garnered significant concern. Given its mechanisms remain elusive in conjunction with the recent withdrawal of previously FDA-approved antiviral therapeutics and prophylactics due to unexpected cardiotoxicity, there is a pressing need for human-mimetic platforms to investigate disease pathogenesis, model dysfunctional features, and support pre-clinical drug screening. Traditional <i>in vitro</i> models for studying cardiovascular diseases have inherent limitations in recapitulating the complexity of the <i>in vivo</i> microenvironment. Heart-on-a-chip technologies, combining microfabrication, microfluidics, and tissue engineering techniques, have emerged as a promising approach for modeling inflammatory cardiac diseases like myocarditis. This review outlines the established and emerging conditions of inflamed myocardium, identifying key features essential for recapitulating inflamed myocardial structure and functions in heart-on-a-chip models, highlighting recent advancements, including the integration of anisotropic contractile geometry, cardiomyocyte maturity, electromechanical functions, vascularization, circulating immunity, and patient/sex specificity.

This study used the General Defocus Particle Tracking (GDPT) technique to develop a non-invasive method for quantifying the fluid velocity profile and calculated the WSS within a microfluidic chip. The GDPT estimates particle motion in a three-dimensional space by analyzing two-dimensional images and video captured using a single camera. However, without a lens to introduce aberration, GDPT is prone to error in estimating the displacement direction for out-of-focus particles, and without knowing the exact refractive indices, the scaling from estimated values to physical units is inaccurate. The proposed approach addresses both challenges by using theoretical knowledge on laminar flow and integrating results obtained from multiple analyses. The proposed approach was validated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and experimental video of a microfluidic chip that can generate different WSS levels under steady-state flow conditions. By comparing the CFD and GDPT velocity profiles, it was found that the Mean Pearson Correlation Coefficient is 0.77 (max = 0.90) and the Mean Intraclass Correlation Coefficient is 0.66 (max = 0.82). The densitometry analysis of osteoblast cells cultured on the designed microfluidic chip for four days revealed that the cell proliferation rate correlates positively with the measured WSS values.

Immune and red blood cells rely on hematic or lymphatic streams as their primary means of transportation, posing notable challenges under microgravity conditions. This study sheds light on the intricate dynamics of cell behavior when suspended in bio-fluid under varying gravitational forces. Utilizing the dissipative particle dynamics approach, blood and white blood cells were modeled, with gravity applied as an external force along the vertical axis, ranging from 0 to 2 g in parameter sweeps. The results revealed discernible alterations in the cell shape and spatial alignment in response to gravity, quantified through metrics such as elongation and deformation indices, pitch angle, and normalized center of mass. Statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney U test underscored clear distinctions between microgravity (<1 g) and hypergravity (>1 g) samples compared to normal gravity (1 g). Furthermore, the examination of forces exerted on the solid, including drag, shear stress, and solid forces, unveiled a reduction in the magnitude as the gravitational force increased. Additional analysis through dimensionless numbers unveiled the dominance of capillary and gravitational forces, which impacted cell velocity, leading to closer proximity to the wall and heightened viscous interaction with surrounding fluid particles. These interactions prompted shape alterations and reduced white blood cell area while increasing red blood cells.

We propose to enhance the single encapsulation rate by using a stratified flow structure to focus and pre-order the (bio)particles before encapsulation. The stratified flow structure is formed using two simple aqueous Newtonian fluids with a viscosity contrast, which together serve as the dispersed phase. The single encapsulation rate is influenced by many parameters, including fluid viscosity contrast, geometric conditions, flow conditions and flow rate ratios, and dimensionless numbers such as the capillary number. This study focuses on investigating the influences of these parameters on the focused stream of the stratified flow, which is key for single encapsulation. The results allow the proposal of a simple guideline that can be adopted to design droplet microfluidic chips with an improved single encapsulation rate demanded by a wide range of applications.

Microfluidic devices permit the study of fungal and fungal-like organisms with cellular resolution as they can confine hyphae to a single optical plane, which is compatible with microscopy imaging over longer timescales and allows for precise control of the microchannel environment. The aim of this study was to develop a method that enables the visualization and quantification of liquid movement on hyphae of fungal and fungal-like microorganisms.

Our key findings highlight the suitability of this novel methodology for the visualization of liquid movement by hyphae over varying time scales and the ability to quantify the movement of liquid along hyphae. Furthermore, we showed that at the cellular level, extracellular movement of liquid along hyphae can be bidirectional and highly dynamic, uncovering a possible link between liquid movement and hyphal growth characteristics.
