Organ-On-a-Chip (OOC) is a multichannel 3D-microfluidic cell-culture system incorporated in a chip that simulates the behavior of an organ. This technology relies on a multidisciplinary science that benefits from and contributes in the progress of many fields including microbiology, microfluidics, biomaterials, and bioengineering. This review article summarizes the progress and achievements of various organ-on-chip technologies.

The complexation of nucleosides and nucleotides by hybrid nanoparticles capped by para-sulfonato-calix[4]arene shows clear discrimination between purine and pyrimidine based molecules. For the pyrimidine nucleotides there is appearance of a new absorption band around 550 nm, and a colour change from yellow to orange red and pink.

In an effort to develop a new way of drug delivery, especially for polyenic antifungal molecules, we have incorporated amphotericin B (AmB) into biodegradable galactosylated poly (L-lactic acid) (L-PLA) and poly (L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres. These drug carriers were prepared by solvent evaporation using an oil/water (o/w) emulsion. The ratio of galactosyl spacers with different chain lengths was 1.
