User-Friendly and Parallelized Generation of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Microtissues in a Centrifugal Heart-on-a-Chip.

ABSTRACT:

Impact statement

With the ultimate goal in tissue engineering of approaching in vivo functionality as closely as possible, organ-on-a-chip (OoC) systems provide unprecedented game-changing opportunities by enabling creation of perfused three-dimensional tissues. Most of the recently developed OoC systems, however, require complex handling steps. Hence, a large gap still exists between technology development and collection of valuable biological data in a standardized medium- or high-throughput manner. The system presented here bridges this gap by providing a user-friendly framework for the parallelized creation of multiple physiologically relevant tissues, which could be applicable in every laboratory without additional equipment.
