The three‐dimensional structure of human erythrocyte aquaporin CHIP. [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 1994 Water-permeable membranes of several plant and mammalian tissues contain specific water channel proteins, the 'aquaporins'. The best characterized aquaporin is CHIP, a 28 kDa red blood cell channel-forming integral protein. Isolated CHIP and Escherichia coli lipids may be assembled into 2-D crystals for structural analyses.

Developmentally inspired human ‘organs on chips’ [PDF]
Development, 2018 ABSTRACT Although initially developed to replace animal testing in drug development, human ‘organ on a chip’ (organ chip) microfluidic culture technology offers a new tool for studying tissue development and pathophysiology, which has brought us one step closer to carrying out human experimentation in vitro.

On being the right size: scaling effects in designing a human-on-a-chip [PDF]
Integrative Biology, 2013 Developing a human-on-a-chip by connecting multiple model organ systems would provide an intermediate screen for therapeutic efficacy and toxic side effects of drugs prior to conducting expensive clinical trials. However, correctly designing individual organs and scaling them relative to each other to make a functional microscale human analog is ...
