Evolution of Ocular Organ‐On‐Chip Systems for Disease Modelling and Drug Testing: Where are We Now?

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The rise in ophthalmic diseases due to aging, screen use, and environmental factors has driven demand for better ocular models. Traditional systems fall short, encouraging the development of organ‐on‐chip devices. These microfluidic platforms replicate eye tissue architecture, enable drug screening, and simulate ocular diseases.

Dual‐Crosslinked Betaine‐Based Amphiphilic Hydrogel as a Promising Vitreous Substitute: Anti‐Adhesion, Anti‐Fouling, and Anti‐Cell Proliferation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel multiple cross‐linked betaine‐type amphiphilic polymer hydrogels are developed via in situ free radical copolymerization. The resultant formation, named P(SBMA‐co‐AANa) hydrogel, functions as a vitreous substitute and demonstrates superior performance in optical properties, support capacity, and biocompatibility on a vitrectomized rabbit model.
