Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers developed a new microfluidic bioreactor called "vessel-on-a-chip" that uses a thermosensitive hydrogel to mimic blood flow changes under cold stress effectively.
  • * This novel technology can replicate cold-induced endothelial injuries, showing potential for advancing research on cold-related cardiovascular diseases and drug testing.

Current organ-on-a-chip (OOC) systems cannot mimic tissue barriers that feature curved geometries and rhythmic movement. This is due to the lack of a relevant membrane that can reproduce the natural biochemical and physical properties of a basement membrane, especially the characteristic sac-like structure possessed by multiple tissue barriers. To address this challenge, a sac-like hydrogel membrane is fabricated here using a one-step simple methodology inspired by soap bubble formation.

Lung-on-chips have showed great promise as a tool to recapitulate the respiratory system for investigation of lung diseases in the past decade. However, the commonly applied artificial elastic membrane (e.g.

Self-adhering hydrogels are promising materials to be employed as wound dressings, because they can be used for wound healing without the necessity of additional stitching. However, micro-organisms can easily adhere to these hydrogels as well, which usually causes wound infections. Therefore, adhesive hydrogels are often combined with antibiotics.
