Design of a membrane for a lung-on-a-chip device: Design and testing of a membrane concept incorporating a dynamic pore size to study the alveolar-capillary barrier in vitro

In vitro models are fundamental in the study of cell behaviour, the physiological function of organs, and their response to drugs and toxins. However, the shortage of accurate and reliable in vitro models calls for the development of in vitro lung models that better recapitulate lung physiology and pathology. Lung-on- a-chip models are promising...
