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 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 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 کاملIntegrating molecular genetics and systems approaches to pulmonary vascular diseases
There is incredible potential to advance our understanding of disease pathogenesis, enhance our diagnostic capability, and revolutionize our treatment modalities with the advent of advanced systems approaches to genetic, genomic, and epigenetic discoveries. Investigation using these technologies is beginning to impact our understanding of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The following rev...
