Fluorescent protein biosensors applied to microphysiological systems.
This mini-review discusses the evolution of fluorescence as a tool to study living cells and tissues in vitro and the present role of fluorescent protein biosensors (FPBs) in microphysiological systems (MPSs). FPBs allow the measurement of temporal and spatial dynamics of targeted cellular events involved in normal and perturbed cellular assay systems and MPSs in real time. FPBs evolved from fl...
متن کاملEngineering challenges in microphysiological systems
Modeling human physiology with the microphysiological systems In humans, tissues and organs are made of hierarchically assembled structures of mul tiple compositions to achieve biological func tions. The different tissues and organs are then organized in a specific order enabled by a circuitry of vascular network, further achieving physiological interactions. On the one hand, many of these co...
متن کاملMicrophysiological Systems (“Organs‐on‐Chips”) for Drug Efficacy and Toxicity Testing
The aim of the Microphysiological Systems (MPS) for Drug Efficacy and Toxicity Testing program, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), was to address difficulties in drug and therapeutic development by creation of human organ microsystems. This program, now entering its fifth year, has achieved all milestones, and is expected to transform the predictive assessment of safety and effe...
متن کاملFarewell to Animal Testing: Innovations on Human Intestinal Microphysiological Systems
The human intestine is a dynamic organ where the complex host-microbe interactions that orchestrate intestinal homeostasis occur. Major contributing factors associated with intestinal health and diseases include metabolically-active gut microbiota, intestinal epithelium, immune components, and rhythmical bowel movement known as peristalsis. Human intestinal disease models have been developed; h...
متن کاملQuantitative Systems Pharmacology Approaches Applied to Microphysiological Systems (MPS): Data Interpretation and Multi-MPS Integration
Our goal in developing Microphysiological Systems (MPS) technology is to provide an improved approach for more predictive preclinical drug discovery via a highly integrated experimental/computational paradigm. Success will require quantitative characterization of MPSs and mechanistic analysis of experimental findings sufficient to translate resulting insights from in vitro to in vivo. We descri...
