On June 28, 2023, a research paper titled “Development of a Human Malaria-on-a-Chip Disease Model for Drug Efficacy and Off-Target Toxicity Evaluation” was published in the prestigious journal Scientific Reports. This studyRead More…
Saliva is essential for oral health and homeostasis. A decrease in saliva production can cause damage to the oral mucosa, dentition, and basic activities such as eating and speaking, known as xerostomia.Read More…
2D monolayer cell cultures have long been the main experimental model for drug discovery, while they have limitations for certain applications. For example, they play little role in disease modeling where theRead More…
Organ on a chip The organ chip is a chip system developed based on microfluidic technology, which can simulate different organs of the human body. This technology implants human cells into theRead More…
Drug discovery and development is a long-term, high-investment, and high-risk process. In the preclinical stage, toxicity issues of drug candidates are often the main reason for development failure. Therefore, it is veryRead More…
Blood-Brain Barrier The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selectively semipermeable border of endothelial cells that prevents the nonselective passage of solutes from circulating blood into the extracellular fluid of the centralRead More…
Over the past few years, two-dimensional (2D) monolayer cell cultures have been the main experimental model for drug discovery, however, for some applications, monolayer cell cultures are situations where cells proliferate andRead More…
In recent decades, the integration of microfluidic devices and micro-scale multi-drive technology has greatly promoted progress in related fields. In particular, microbubbles play an increasingly important role in microfluidics because they haveRead More…
Microfluidics refers to the science and technology involved in systems that use micropipes (tens to hundreds of microns in size) to process or manipulate tiny fluids. It is an emerging interdisciplinary involvingRead More…
