Physiologically relevant organs on chips [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnology Journal, 2013
AbstractRecent advances in integrating microengineering and tissue engineering have generated promising microengineered physiological models for experimental medicine and pharmaceutical research. Here we review the recent development of microengineered physiological systems, or also known as “ogans‐on‐chips”, that reconstitute the physiologically ...

High-resolution and multi-range particle separation by microscopic vibration in an optofluidic chip

open access: yes, 2017
An optofluidic chip is demonstrated in experiments for high-resolution and multi-range particle separation through the optically-induced microscopic vibration effect, where nanoparticles are trapped in loosely overdamped optical potential wells created ...

Guiding organs-on-chips towards applications: a balancing act between integration of advanced technologies and standardization

open access: yesFrontiers in Lab on a Chip Technologies
Organs-on-chips (OoC) are in vitro models that emulate key functionalities of tissues or organs in a miniaturized and highly controlled manner. Due to their high versatility, OoC have evolved as promising alternatives to animal testing for a more ...

A four-organ-chip for interconnected long-term co-culture of human intestine, liver, skin and kidney equivalents

open access: yes, 2022
S.2688-2699Systemic absorption and metabolism of drugs in the small intestine, metabolism by the liver as well as excretion by the kidney are key determinants of efficacy and safety for therapeutic candidates. However, these systemic responses of applied

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Cold Atmospheric Plasma as a Potential Disease-Modifying Therapy for Osteoarthritis

open access: yesBiomedicines
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disabling joint disease characterised by cartilage degradation, synovial inflammation, and subchondral bone remodelling. Furthermore, catabolic inflammatory processes as well as dysregulated cellular signalling and oxidative ...

Microelectromechanical Organs-on-Chip

open access: yes2021 21st International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems (Transducers), 2021
Stemming from the convergence of tissue engineering and microfluidics, organ-on-chip (OoC) technology can reproduce in vivo-like dynamic microphysiological environments for tissues in vitro. The possibility afforded by OoC devices of realistic recapitulation of tissue and organ (patho)physiology may hold the key to bridge the current translational gap ...
