Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and long-term disability around the world. Numerous animal models have demonstrated BBB dysfunction following TBI. This perfusable 3D microvascular model offers the complex cytoarchitecture and multicellular arrangement that is seen in vivo. Coupled to a device that can deliver a mechanical insult, this system allows for the study of TBI pathology and therapeutic testing.
