Structured Summary
Abstract
Devices designed to recapitulate tissue or organ-level physiology and architect by combining MICROFLUIDICS; MICROFABRICATION; and 3D CELL CULTURE. Microphysiological systems mimic interconnections important in physiological or pathophysiological states of organ(s) and are often used for instance in HIGH THROUGHPUT SCREENING of drugs and factors important in disease modeling.
