A new review article titled ‘Advanced Materials and Sensors for Microphysiological Systems: Focus on Electronic and Electro-optical Interfaces‘ was published in Advanced Materials today.
Advanced in vitro cell culture, microphysiological systems (MPSs), recapitulate features of human tissues and are increasingly being used for drug development and disease modeling. Still, they are commonly based on standard polymers with minimal real-time stimuli and read-out capacity. This review article describes how advanced materials and devices could enable a technology leap in reproducing in vivo-like functionality and real-time tissue monitoring.
