    Abstract : The field of organ-on-chip is a relatively new area of research and builds upon the principle of engineering microfluidic systems to mimic the body’s internal environment as precisely as possible. Eventually these models could hopefully simulate whole organ-systems and enable the examination of the cell’s or organ’s reaction to foreign substances like new pharmaceuticals in a better way than current models.

  3. 2. The influence of astrocytes and their culturing environment on blood-brain barrier modeling in a microfluidic chip

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Michaela Hällevall; [2017]
    Keywords : Blood-brain barrier; Organs-on-chip; BBB-on-chip; Astrocytes; Hydrogels; Microfluidics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective barrier separating the brain from the circulatory system. The physical barrier is built up by a monolayer of endothelial cells, which is the main component used for in vitro modeling. READ MORE
