Straight spine. -- This is a technical manual for designing and using Organ-on-a-Chip technology. It focuses on the intersection of microfabrication and cell biology, providing the engineering blueprints needed to create miniature, functional models of human organs. Core Objectives: - Engineering 3D Environments: It explains how to move beyond flat Petri dishes to create 3D micro-environments that mimic the physical and chemical conditions inside the human body; - Disease Modelling: A major focus is the development of specific models for drug toxicity testing and disease progression, particularly for the liver and lung. - Scale-Up for Industry: It addresses the "translation" problem - how to move a delicate microfluidic device from a university lab to a mass-produced industrial tool for pharmaceutical screening. Technical Breakdown: - Micro-scale Physics: The text details how fluids behave at the micron level, focusing on laminar flow, shear stress, and nutrient delivery to living cells. - Biomaterials: It reviews the materials used to build these systems (such as PDMS and other polymers) and how to ensure they are biocompatible so they do not kill the cells they are meant to house. - Multi-Organ Systems: The book explores "Body-on-a-Chip" concepts, where multiple organ models are connected by micro-channels to simulate how a drug might move from the gut to the liver and eventually the bloodstream. It serves as a bridge for engineers who understand fluid dynamics but need to learn cell biology, and for biologists who understand disease but need the hardware to simulate it accurately without using animal models.
