C21 OMICS IN LUNG DISEASE: Human Small Airway-On-A-Chip: A Novel Microphysiological System To Model Lung Inflammation, Accelerate Drug Development And Enable Inhalational Toxico-Analysis

Importantly, by connecting the small airway chip to a custom-designed electromechanical instrument that 'breathes' whole cigarette smoke in and out of the chip microchannels, we successfully recreated smoke-induced oxidative stress, identified new ciliary micropathologies, and discovered u...

Description
Summary:Importantly, by connecting the small airway chip to a custom-designed electromechanical instrument that 'breathes' whole cigarette smoke in and out of the chip microchannels, we successfully recreated smoke-induced oxidative stress, identified new ciliary micropathologies, and discovered unique COPD-specific molecular signatures. [...]this platform revealed a subtle ciliary damage triggered by acute exposure to electronic cigarette. [...]the human small airway-on-a-chip offers a powerful complement to animal models for studying human lung pathophysiology.
