Recapitulating Solid Stress on Tumor on a Chip for Nanomedicine Diffusive Transport Prediction
The characteristic mechanical forces at play within tumors include the abnormal solid and fluid stresses. These, together with the increased extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness, are the major transport barriers affecting the nanomedicine delivery to ...

Hemostasis-On-a-Chip: Impedance Spectroscopy Meets Microfluidics for Hemostasis Evaluation
In the case of vascular injury, a complex process (of clotting) starts, involving mainly platelets and coagulation factors. This process in healthy humans is known as hemostasis, but when it is deregulated (thrombosis), it can be the cause of important ...

Mechano-transduction: from molecules to tissues. [PDF]
External forces play complex roles in cell organization, fate, and homeostasis. Changes in these forces, or how cells respond to them, can result in abnormal embryonic development and diseases in adults.

3D Immunocompetent Organ‐on‐a‐Chip Models
AbstractIn recent years, engineering of various human tissues in microphysiologically relevant platforms, known as organs‐on‐chips (OOCs), are explored to establish in vitro tissue models that recapitulate the microenvironments found in native organs and tissues.

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 ...
