Organs-on-a-chip, or OoCs, are microfluidic tissue culture devices with micro-scaled
architectures that repeatedly achieve biomimicry of biological phenomena. They are well …

In recent years, the exploitation of phenomena surrounding microfluidics has seen an
increase in popularity, as researchers have found a way to use their unique properties to …

We used 3D cell printing to emulate an airway coupled with a naturally-derived blood vessel
network in vitro. Decellularized extracellular matrix bioink derived from porcine tracheal …

Microfluidic cell cultures enable investigation of complex physiological tissue properties and
functionalities. For convenience, they are often implemented with immortalized cell lines, but …

Due to the current relevance of pulmonary toxicology (with focus upon air pollution and the
inhalation of hazardous materials), it is important to further develop and implement …

The human oral mucosa hosts a diverse microbiome and is exposed to potentially toxic
biomaterials from dental restoratives. Mucosal health is partly determined by cell and tissue …

Various types of pollutants widely present in environmental media, including synthetic and
