Patient‐Derived Microphysiological Systems for Precision Medicine

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, 2023
AbstractPatient‐derived microphysiological systems (P‐MPS) have emerged as powerful tools in precision medicine that provide valuable insight into individual patient characteristics. This review discusses the development of P‐MPS as an integration of patient‐derived samples, including patient‐derived cells, organoids, and induced pluripotent stem cells,

Genipin‐Crosslinked, Silane‐Anchored 3D Tumor–Stroma Microtissues for High‐Content On‐Chip Drug Testing

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We describe a microfluidic tumor‐stroma co‐culture model, engineered to resist collagen‐hydrogel contraction driven by fibroblast activity. Surface silanization with APTES covalently anchors the matrix to the chip, while Genipin crosslinking progressively increases stiffness and elasticity without harming cells. This supports >10 days of co‐culture and
