Pulmonary Fibrosis-on-a-Chip Model Introduction

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic pathological disorder. Here, Creative Biolabs presents you with a novel pulmonary fibrosis-on-a-chip model that is created to model the fibrotic transition of the lung interstitial tissue and the effect of anti-fibrosis drugs on such transitions.

Formation of Our Pulmonary Fibrosis-on-a-chip Model

The pulmonary fibrosis-on-a-chip model consists of arrays of membranous 3D microtissue. During the formation, microtissues undergo morphological and structural changes that are guided by poly (dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) micropillar-defined mechanical boundary conditions. These membranous lung microtissues recapitulate key biomechanical properties of both healthy and fibrotic lung alveolar tissues.
