The kinetics of solute transport across cell monolayers is complex, and often consists of multiple active transport processes in addition to passive diffusion. Here we demonstrate that mechanistic details of transport across biological barriers can be obtained from live cell imaging in a perfusable microvessel model with physiologically relevant geometry.
