Abstract

Limitations of the current tools used in the drug development process, cell cultures, and animal models have highlighted the need for a new powerful tool that can emulate the human physiology in vitro. Advances in the field of microfluidics have made the realization of this tool closer than ever. Organ-on-a-chip platforms have been the first step forward, leading to the combination and integration of multiple organ models in the same platform with human-on-a-chip being the ultimate goal. Despite the current progress and technological developments, there are still several unmet engineering and biological challenges curtailing their development and widespread application in the biomedical field. The potentials, challenges, and current work on this unprecedented tool are being discussed in this chapter.

摘要

当前药物开发过程中使用的工具、细胞培养和动物模型存在局限性,这凸显了对新的强大工具的需求,该工具能够在体外模拟人体生理学。微流控领域的进步使这一工具的实现比以往任何时候都更加接近。器官芯片平台是向前迈出的第一步,导致多个器官模型在同一平台上的结合和集成,而人体芯片则是最终目标。尽管目前取得了进展和技术发展,但仍存在一些未满足的工程和生物学挑战,限制了它们在生物医学领域的发展和广泛应用。本章讨论了这个前所未有的工具的潜力、挑战和当前工作。
