_Principles of Human Organs-on-Chips_ covers all aspects of
microfluidic organ-on-a-chip systems, from fabrication to application
and commercialization. Organ-on-a-chip models are created to mimic the
structural, microenvironmental and physiological functions of human
organs, providing the potential to bypass some cell and animal testing
methods. This is a useful platform with widespread applications,
frequently in drug screening and pathological studies.
This book offers a comprehensive and authoritative reference on
microfluidic organs-on-chips, spanning all key aspects from
fabrication methods, cell culture systems and cell-based analysis, to
dedicated chapters on specific tissue types and their associated
organ-on-a-chip models, as well as their use as disease models, drug
screening platforms and more.
_Principles of Human Organs-on-Chips_ helps materials scientists and
biomedical engineers to better understand the specific requirements
and challenges in the design and fabrication of organ-on-a-chip
devices. This book also bridges the knowledge gap between medical
device design and subsequent clinical applications, allowing medical
professionals to easily learn about related engineering concepts and
techniques.
* Describes various microfluidic systems and fabrication methods
* Covers models and applications for a broad range of tissue types,
including liver, eye, immune, gut, and more
* Offers an interdisciplinary approach, combining engineering
techniques and clinical applications of organs-on-chips
