In vitro tissue microarrays for quick and efficient spheroid characterisation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Three-dimensional in vitro microphysiological cultures, such as spheroids and organoids, promise increased patient relevance and therapeutic predictivity compared to reductionist cell monolayers.

Computational fluid dynamic analysis of bioprinted self-supporting perfused tissue models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Natural tissues are incorporated with vasculature, which is further integrated with a cardiovascular system responsible for driving perfusion of nutrient‐rich oxygenated blood through the vasculature to support cell metabolism within most cell‐dense ...

Microphysiologic systems in female reproductive biology [PDF]

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 2017
Microphysiologic systems (MPS), including new organ-on-a-chip technologies, recapitulate tissue microenvironments by employing specially designed tissue or cell culturing techniques and microfluidic flow. Such systems are designed to incorporate physiologic factors that conventional 2D or even 3D systems cannot, such as the multicellular dynamics of a

Rapid Prototyping of Multilayer Microphysiological Systems

open access: yesACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, 2020
Microfluidic organs-on-chips aim to realize more biorelevant in vitro experiments compared to traditional two-dimensional (2D) static cell culture. Often such devices are fabricated via poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) soft lithography, which offers benefits (e.g., high feature resolution) along with drawbacks (e.g., prototyping time/costs).

Metabolite profiling and pharmacokinetic evaluation of hydrocortisone in a perfused 3D human liver bioreactor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is known to cause liver injury primarily involving inflammatory cells such as Kupffer cells, but few in vitro culture models are applicable for investigation of inflammatory effects on drug metabolism. We have developed

Modeling early stage atherosclerosis in a primary human vascular microphysiological system

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Human microphysiological systems (MPS) have some advantages over animal models to study the mechanisms of disease. Here the authors use a tissue-engineered blood vessel MPS to create a model of early stage atherosclerosis and assess the effect of several

Matrigel 3D bioprinting of contractile human skeletal muscle models recapitulating exercise and pharmacological responses

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2021
Alave-Furrer et al adapted their recently-developed 3D bioprinting platform to allow microvalve-based drop-on-demand printing of cell-laden Matrigel containing primary human muscle precursor cells.

Liver ‘organ on a chip’ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
© 2017 The liver plays critical roles in both homeostasis and pathology. It is the major site of drug metabolism in the body and, as such, a common target for drug-induced toxicity and is susceptible to a wide range of diseases.
