An organ-on-a-chip (OOC) is a multi-channel 3D microfluidic cell culture, integrated circuit (chip) that simulates the activities, mechanics and physiological response of an entire organ or an organ system. Compared to common organoids, organ-on-a-chip is more controllable to the physicochemical microenvironment and is not easy to be contaminated. It has higher homogeneity in the size and shape of organ. In addition, it can achieve vascularization and exchange the nutrients and metabolic wastes in time. Organ-on-a-chip can very precisely re-create the mechanical and unique anatomical structures of the oral environment.
Highly bionic human micro-organ models constructed on organ-on-a-chip can reproduce the complex structures and physiological functions of human organs in vitro, thereby providing more accurate experimental data than two-dimensional static cell models and animal models. It plays an important role in disease modeling, drug development, etc. Considerable potential in the field of environmental toxicology is also shown.
