Abstract Organs-on-chips (OoCs) are systems containing engineered or natural miniature
tissues grown inside microfluidic chips. To better mimic human physiology, the chips are …

Culture of cells using various microfluidic devices is becoming more common within
experimental cell biology. At the same time, a technological radiation of microfluidic cell …

3D cell-culture models have recently garnered great attention because they often promote
levels of cell differentiation and tissue organization not possible in conventional 2D culture …

Here, we describe a biomimetic microsystem that reconstitutes the critical functional alveolar-
capillary interface of the human lung. This bioinspired microdevice reproduces complex …

This article reviews acoustic microfluidics: the use of acoustic fields, principally ultrasonics,
for application in microfluidics. Although acoustics is a classical field, its promising, and …

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD),
Huntington's disease (HD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), affect millions of people …

Drug evaluation has always been an important area of research in the pharmaceutical
industry. However, animal welfare protection and other shortcomings of traditional drug …

The complexity of the human brain poses a substantial challenge for the development of
models of the CNS. Current animal models lack many essential human characteristics (in …

A biosensor is an analytical device that can be used for detecting analytes and combines a
biological component with a physicochemical detecting transducer. In recent years …

Harnessing the ability to precisely and reproducibly actuate fluids and manipulate
bioparticles such as DNA, cells, and molecules at the microscale, microfluidics is a powerful …
