Biomedical research is undergoing a paradigm shift towards approaches centred on human
disease models owing to the notoriously high failure rates of the current drug development …

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is the predominant material used for organ-on-a-chip devices
and microphysiological systems (MPSs) due to its ease-of-use, elasticity, optical …

Compact cardiomyocytes that make up the ventricular wall of the adult heart represent an
important therapeutic target population for modeling and treating cardiovascular diseases …

We review the emergence of the new field of organ-on-a-chip (OOAC) engineering, from the
parent fields of tissue engineering and microfluidics. We place into perspective the tools and …

Currently, due to the increasing demand for 3D culture, various organoids that mimic organs
are being actively studied. Despite active reports, information on heart organoids (HOs) …

Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and imposes a significant burden on
healthcare systems globally. A major hurdle to the development of more effective …

The development of organs-on-chip (OoC) has revolutionized in vitro cell-culture
experiments by allowing a better mimicry of human physiology and pathophysiology that has …

Tissue-like structures from human pluripotent stem cells containing multiple cell types are
transforming our ability to model and understand human development and disease. Here we …

Organs-on-chips are microengineered microfluidic living cell culture devices with
continuously perfused chambers penetrating to cells. By mimicking the biological features of …

The convergence of tissue engineering and patient-specific stem cell biology has enabled
the engineering of in vitro tissue models that allow the study of patient-tailored treatment …
