Zusammenfassung:Microfluidic chips have been proven to be attractive platforms for cell culture in vitro. Microfluidic chip-based organs-on-chips technology has received more attention because it can mimic the complex structures and functions of human organs. In this review, the recent advances of organs-on-chips technology in different organs are introduced, including the build of human physiological models, drug discovery, and toxicology research. The development trend of this technology is also proposed.
