What is Modeling the Human Body on Microfluidic Chips about?

Animals often fail to faithfully mimic human diseases and drug toxicities, and most in vitro models are not complex enough to recapitulate human body function and pathophysiology. Organ-on-chip culture technology, however, offers a promising tool for the study of tissue development and homeostasis, which has brought us one step closer to performing human experimentation in vitro. To recapitulate the complex functionality of multiple organs at once, their respective on-chip models can be linked to create a functional human body-on-chip platform. Here, we highlight the advantages and translational potentials of body-on-chip platforms in disease modeling, therapeutic development, and personalized medicine. We provide the reader with current limitations of the body-on-chip approach and new ideas to address the pending issues moving forwards.
