Immune system on chip: immune cell interactions with tissue barriers on sensor integrated microfluidic chips. KU Leuven
Microphysiological Systems (MPS) are microfluidic chips that contain multiple cell types and aim to emulate a human organ in a specific context. This is particularly interesting for pre-clinical drug development, given that current practices predominantly rely on animal models or simplified in vitro models. MPS possess a remarkable ability to mimic complex diseases by enabling the study of human cells within dynamic environments. The human ...
