Mechanobiological Adaptation to Hyperosmolarity Enhances Barrier Function in Human Vascular Microphysiological System
In infectious disease such as sepsis and COVID‐19, blood vessel leakage treatment is critical to prevent fatal progression into multi‐organ failure and ultimately death, but the existing effective therapeutic modalities that improve vascular barrier function are limited.

Zusammenfassung: | In infectious disease such as sepsis and COVID‐19, blood vessel leakage treatment is critical to prevent fatal progression into multi‐organ failure and ultimately death, but the existing effective therapeutic modalities that improve vascular barrier function are limited. Here, this study reports that osmolarity modulation can significantly improve vascular barrier function, even in an inflammatory condition. 3D human vascular microphysiological systems and automated permeability quantification processes for high‐throughput analysis of vascular barrier function are utilized. Vascular barrier function is enhanced by >7‐folds with 24–48 h hyperosmotic exposure (time window of emergency care; >500 mOsm L−1) but is disrupted after hypo‐osmotic exposure ( |
