Recapitulation of physiologic and pathophysiologic pulsatile CSF flow in purpose-built high-throughput hydrocephalus bioreactors by Ahmad Faryami, Adam Menkara, Shaheer Ajaz, Christopher Roberts, Ryan Jaroudi, Blake Gura, Tala Hussini, Carolyn A. Harris

“…Despite more than 60 years of concerted efforts, shunts still have the highest failure rate of any neurological device requiring follow-up shunt revision surgeries and contributing to the $2 billion cost of hydrocephalus care in the US alone. The absence of a tested and validated long-term in-vitro model that can incorporate clinically relevant parameters has limited hypothesis-driven studies and, in turn, limited our progress in understanding the mechanisms of shunt obstruction in hydrocephalus. …”
