an Organ-On-A-Chip microphysiological system (MPS) counts as a doll if you think about it

The #intestine's dynamics (environment/movement/stiffness/flow) shapes stem cell fitness and function, shown here via PIEZO channels and is reflected in in-vitro models. So, are static 3D cultures sufficient? Could microphysiological systems #MPS #Organ-on-chip offer a better approach here?

A Review in Nature Reviews Bioengineering discusses pregnancy-associated organs-on-chips, which are microphysiological systems that model gestational tissues to unveil the mechanisms of obstetric conditions and evaluate drug safety and efficacy during pregnancy in vitro. 🔒
Pregnancy-associated organs-on-chips - Nature Reviews Bioengineering
Pregnancy-associated organs-on-chips (PAOOCs) are microphysiological systems that model gestational tissues to unveil the mechanisms of obstetric conditions and evaluate drug safety and efficacy during pregnancy in vitro. In this Review, we discuss the biological and mechanical components of PAOOCs and propose design recommendations to improve their physiological fidelity, reproducibility and accessibility.
