Abstract Organs-on-chips (OoCs) are systems containing engineered or natural miniature
tissues grown inside microfluidic chips. To better mimic human physiology, the chips are …

Evaporation, pervaporation, and forward osmosis are processes leading to a mass transfer
of solvent across an interface: gas/liquid for evaporation and solid/liquid (membrane) for …

Organ-on-a-chip (OOC) systems are engineered nanobiosystems to mimic the
physiochemical environment of a specific organ in the body. Among various components of …

Two-dimensional (2D) cell culture techniques are commonly employed to investigate
biophysical and biochemical cellular responses. However, these culture methods, having …

The human gut is responsible for food digestion and absorption. Recently, growing evidence
has shown its vital role in the proper functioning of other organs. Advances in microfluidic …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex, dynamic network present within all tissues and
organs that not only acts as a mechanical support and anchorage point but can also direct …

The results of a lab-on-chip (LOC) platform fabrication equipped with a hydrogel matrix is
reported. A 3D printing technique was used to provide a hybrid,“sandwiched” type structure …

The intestine contains the largest microbial community in the human body, the gut
microbiome. Increasing evidence suggests that it plays a crucial role in maintaining overall …

Microfluidics is an interdisciplinary field that encompasses both science and engineering,
which aims to design and fabricate devices capable of manipulating extremely low volumes …

Centrifugal microfluidics has evolved into a sophisticated technology capable of enabling
the exploration of fundamental questions in such fields as protein analysis, environmental …
