Modelling alveoli on a breathing lung-on-chip in health and disease
European Respiratory Journal Clementine Richter, Alberto Hidalgo, Patrick Carius, Nuria Roldan, Janick Stucki, Nina Hobi, Nicole Schneider-Daum, Calus-Michael Lehr Abstract The pharmaceutical industry is in rising need for alternative methods that minimise animal testing during early drug development, mainly because of the poor transferability from animal to human, costs or ethical issues. However, traditional cellular models fail to reproduce essential physio-pathological, systemic and structural aspects. In this sense, organ-on-chips have...
