Abstract
Implementations of the present invention relate to apparatuses, systems, and methods for constructing and using a metastatic mimetic device. The device includes at least one chamber with a gate structure that allows a channel to selectively allow fluid communication between an interior of the chamber and an exterior of the chamber. The channel includes a porous member extending across a cross-section of the channel to control flow rates or allow the mimetic device to replicate transport across a member.
