Tissue engineering the cardiac microenvironment: Multicellular microphysiological systems for drug screening.
The ability to accurately detect cardiotoxicity has become increasingly important in the development of new drugs. Since the advent of human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, researchers have explored their use in creating an in vitro drug screening platform. Recently, there has been increasing interest in creating 3D microphysiological models of the heart as a tool to detect cardio...
متن کاملHuman iPSC-based Cardiac Microphysiological System For Drug Screening Applications
Drug discovery and development are hampered by high failure rates attributed to the reliance on non-human animal models employed during safety and efficacy testing. A fundamental problem in this inefficient process is that non-human animal models cannot adequately represent human biology. Thus, there is an urgent need for high-content in vitro systems that can better predict drug-induced toxici...

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 کاملHuman Vascular Microphysiological System for in vitro Drug Screening.
In vitro human tissue engineered human blood vessels (TEBV) that exhibit vasoactivity can be used to test human toxicity of pharmaceutical drug candidates prior to pre-clinical animal studies. TEBVs with 400-800 μM diameters were made by embedding human neonatal dermal fibroblasts or human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in dense collagen gel. TEBVs were mechanically strong enough to...
متن کاملSynthetic 3D multicellular systems for drug development.
Since the 1970s, the limitations of two dimensional (2D) cell culture and the relevance of appropriate three dimensional (3D) cell systems have become increasingly evident. Extensive effort has thus been made to move cells from a flat world to a 3D environment. While 3D cell culture technologies are meanwhile widely used in academia, 2D culture technologies are still entrenched in the (pharmace...
