Microfluidic-Chip-Integrated Biosensors for Lung Disease Models
Biosensors, 2021 Lung diseases (e.g., infection, asthma, cancer, and pulmonary fibrosis) represent serious threats to human health all over the world. Conventional two-dimensional (2D) cell models and animal models cannot mimic the human-specific properties of the lungs.
