The current drug development process is a costly effort both in terms of budget and time. Organ-on-Chip (OoC) technologies are rapidly developing and are used for various applications and studies that aim to reduce the costs of this process. They represent the convergence between tissue engineering and microfluidic technology to provide...

Drug efficacy and side effects are significantly impacted by the first-pass metabolism, a sequence of events that occurs in the stomach and the liver after oral ingestion. Accurate prediction of this mechanism is crucial for a faster and more cost-efficient drug development process. Replicating the first-pass metabolism in vitro using standard...

Cardiorenal Syndrome (CRS) is a multi-organ disease characterized by a reciprocal pathological interaction between the heart and kidneys during acute or chronic injury. Yet, a complete understanding of the underlying bi-directional pathophysiological mechanisms is lacking, hence obscuring effective diagnostic strategies, patient stratification...

The current standard for organ-on-chip substrate materials is polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). PDMS has many beneficial properties such as biocompatibility, transparency, elasticity, and easy prototyping. The main disadvantages of PDMS are its hydrophobicity (reducing cell attachment and cell proliferation), quick hydrophobic recovery (within a few...

Current technology of Organ-on-Chips allows investigation of human cells outside the body including a microfluidic medium flow. Control of oxygen in this microfluidic flow is required to mimic the situation as in the human liver (physiological) or to create temporary low oxygen concentrations (hypoxia). In this research, a gas exchanger module...

The Organ on Chip (OoC) market is fast-growing and has the promise to drastically reduce the cost of developing drugs and the need for animal testing. However, the growth could be obstructed by the difficulties of scaling up production of developed prototypes. Most OoC prototypes are not suited for mass production because of the material used,...

Currently, preclinical drug testing and disease modelling are based on static cell cultures and animal models that often fail at predicting the human pathophysiology. Alternatively, Organ-on-Chips (OoCs), dynamic microphysiological platforms, can be employed to recapitulate organ functions and mimic the cell's microphysiological environment....

In the last few years organ-on-chip (OoC) has been emerging as a new method for more reliable research to screen the effects of new drugs on the body. This is a novel technology mimicking the in vivo environment of tissue cells, making it a more suitable candidate for experimentation than traditional 2D cell cultures. However, in order to ensure...

Real-time cell culture media monitoring can be conducted by Organ-on-Chip (OoC) ion-sensitive floating-gate field-effect transistor based sensors (ISFGFET). A method of modelling the sensor is described and implemented in the Advanced Design System (ADS) design and simulation software. The model is validated using measurement data of the sensor...

Cell behavior in vitro can be regulated by mechanical stimulation. Cytostretch is an Organ-on-Chip (OOC) platform that allows cyclic stretching tissue in culture. Its pneumatic actuation can hinder it from microfluidic systems integration. A dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) was developed and fabricated in this thesis for Cytostretch as an...

Introduction | Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the number one cause of death worldwide. Individuals with a high risk of developing CVD are nowadays mainly treated with cholesterol lowering drugs. Although disease risk can be lowered by a maximum of 40% in this way, a significant untreatable residual risk is left. Therefore, there is a big...

The use of conventional biological assay tools, such as Petri dish, has hindered the drug discovery studies ineffective and time-consuming. To cope with this problem, organ-on-chip (OOC) devices have been developed. Modeling organ functionality, topography, and pathology, OOC devices are expected to pave the way the drug discovery processes....

Organ-on-Chips (OOCs) are micro-fabricated devices that combine micro-engineering with in-vitro cell culturing. This combination results in an in-vitro model that mimics the minimal functional unit of a human organ. OOC devices are expected to provide accurate and predictive screening tools that will eventually reduce false negatives and false...
