Disease-on-a-chip: mimicry of tumor growth in mammary ducts [PDF]
We present a disease-on-a-chip model in which cancer grows within phenotypically normal breast luminal epithelium on semicircular acrylic support mimicking portions of mammary ducts. The cells from tumor nodules developing within these hemichannels are morphologically distinct from their counterparts cultured on flat surfaces.

Towards establishing human body-on-a-chip systems
Body-on-a-chip (BoC) platforms are established from multiple organs-on-chips (OoCs) to recapitulate the interactions between different tissues. Recently, Vunjak-Novakovic and colleagues reported the creation of a BoC system comprising four fluidically ...

Mobile Efficient Diagnostics of Infectious Diseases via On‐Chip RT‐qPCR: MEDIC‐PCR
AbstractThe COVID‐19 outbreak has caused public and global health crises. However, the lack of on‐site fast, reliable, sensitive, and low‐cost reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) testing limits early detection, timely isolation, and epidemic prevention and control.

Construction of diagnostic markers for hub lncRNAs in Parkinson’s disease based on chip re-annotation [PDF]
Abstract BACKGROUND Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that is also the most common motor disorder and is accompanied by the loss of DA neurons in the brain. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently been identified as new genetic entities that regulate cellular processes.

Integration of systems biology with organs-on-chips to humanize therapeutic development [PDF]
"Mice are not little people" - a refrain becoming louder as the gaps between animal models and human disease become more apparent. At the same time, three emerging approaches are headed toward integration: powerful systems biology analysis of cell-cell ...

The solitary nucleus connectivity to key autonomic regions in humans [PDF]
The nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) is a key brainstem structure relaying interoceptive peripheral information to the interrelated brain centres for eliciting rapid autonomic responses and for shaping longer-term neuroendocrine and motor patterns ...

All-in-one treatments represent a paradigm shift in future medicine. For example, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is mainly diagnosed by endoscopy, which could be applied for not only on-site monitoring but also the intestinal lesion-targeted spray of injectable hydrogels.
