Novel intestine-on-chip system
The pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease is complex and not fully understood. A novel intestine-on-chip microfluidic system, developed by the Bio Engineering Laboratory of Andreas Hierlemann now enables to study in detail the physiological processes during inflammation. The system helps to elucidate the role of different immune cell types in intestinal inflammation and their specific responses to anti-inflammatory drugs and provides valuable insights for developing therapeutic strategies.
Find details on the novel device in this BEL news article.
