Microchip Models of Human Lungs Enable Better Understanding of Disease, Immune Response
- Lung-on-a-chip platforms can provide a more rapid alternative for preliminary testing of drug candidates to treat coronavirus-induced lung infections.
In Biomicrofluidics, by AIP Publishing, researchers from Ege University and the University of Nottingham review a range of lung-on-chip technologies that represent the vital properties of lung tissue and are capable of recapitulating the fundamental aspects of various pathologies.
