Medium throughput breathing human primary cell alveolus-on-chip model

Organs-on-chips have the potential to improve drug development efficiency and decrease the need for animal testing. For the successful integration of these devices in research and industry, they must reproduce in vivo contexts as closely as possible and be easy to use. Here, we describe a ‘breathing’ lung-on-chip array equipped with a passive medium exchange mechanism that provide an in vivo-like environment…

Stucki presents lung-on-chip at TEDx in Bern

Great honor for Janick Stucki, CTO at AlveoliX! He was invited to present the AlveoliX lung-on-chip at the TEDxBern on 31st August 2018. TEDxBern is introduced amazing and surprising Bernese ideas in 2018 again. The speakers know: ‘ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE’. They are developing new ideas, exploring combinations of tried and tested ideas, crossing borders and

Human microvasculature-on-a chip: anti-neovasculogenic effect of nintedanib in vitro

Sohelia Zeinali, Colette A. Bichsel, Nina Hobi, Manuela Funke, Thomas M. Marti, Ralph A. Schmid, Olivier T. Guenat & Thomas Geiser Abstract Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by a progressive scarring and stiffening of the peripheral lung tissue that decreases lung function. Over the course of the disease, the lung microvasculature undergoes extensive remodeling. There
