Advanced 3D cell-based technologies

Drug Target Review

This model recapitulates tissue-tissue interface, vascular perfusion with circulating immune cells, connective tissue cells and organ-relevant mechanical flow dynamics. The first successful chip adaptation to a lung model was first described in 2010 by Donald Ingber, a bioengineer at Wyss institute.
