Modeling Toxoplasma gondii-gut early interactions using a human microphysiological system.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Oral transmission of parasites via environmentally resistant cyst stages in contaminated food or water is a common route of human infection, but there are no effective vaccines available for any enteric parasitic infection. Our knowledge of parasite cyst

A Practical Gut‐On‐Chip Workflow for Imaging‐Based Assessment of Epithelial Barrier Dynamics During E. coli Co‐Culture

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The intestinal epithelium and its resident microbiota form a dynamic interface that is central to gut homeostasis, but this interface is difficult to model with conventional tools. Static Transwell cultures lack physiological fluid shear, whereas animal models are costly and poorly suited to quantitative, high‐content imaging.

Toward clone‐on‐a‐chip: Ethical and legal considerations for organ‐on‐a‐chip evolution

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The term “clone‐on‐a‐chip (CoC)” is introduced as a conceptual warning for personalized organ‐on‐a‐chip platforms and not to suggest technological feasibility, where a CoC ethical discussion extends beyond issues arising from the requirements for informed consent, property rights, commercialization efforts, and cell sourcing to include potentially ...

Exploring the synergy of CRISPR and microphysiological systems

ALTEX
Since its discovery as an innate bacterial immune system, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) associated nuclease 9 (CRISPR-Cas9) system has quickly landed on mammalian genomes to become the first-in-class editing technique.

Pediatric Developmental Safety Assessment: Are We Ready for the Next Thalidomide?

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Pediatric drug development has achieved remarkable success in the last 20 years with over 1,000 products studied in pediatric patients. This success has been driven in part by an increased understanding of pediatric disease processes. The aspect that has been largely overlooked is the potential adverse effect of new drugs on pediatric developmental ...

A microphysiological systems approach to design gastrointestinal system

Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition
The gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex and dynamic organ system, with the anatomy and varied physiological functionality adding complexity to nutrient absorption, immune function, and maintenance of overall health. This review begins with an overview of the anatomy, highlighting key organs and their respective roles, followed by an exploration ...

Patient-Derived Microphysiological Systems for Precision Medicine. [PDF]

Adv Healthc Mater, 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,

Emerging Human‐Based Research Technologies for Investigating the Pathomechanisms and Therapies for Vascular Diseases

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT It is estimated that a large proportion of drug candidates fail in human clinical trials, mainly because animal models cannot fully replicate human disease and because of differential responses to various medications between humans and animals.

Beyond Tradition: An Integrated Toxicological, Ecological, and Public Health Perspective on Aristolochic Acids

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...

Microphysiological system as a promising technology for drug assay

Folia Pharmacologica Japonica, 2019
MPS (microphysiological system) is in-vitro cell-culture environment, which is precisely maintained in a micro space manufactured using MEMS (micro electro mechanical systems) technology, to derive in-vivo like functions from human cells. From the viewpoint of pharmacokinetics, it can be considered as a wet PBPK/PD simulator consisting of the micro ...
