Revolutionizing IBD research with on-chip models of disease modeling and drug screening.
Type: article
Abstract: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) comprises chronic inflammatory conditions with complex mechanisms and diverse manifestations, posing significant clinical challenges. Traditional animal models and ethical concerns in human studies necessitate innovative approaches. This review provides an overview of human intestinal architecture in health and inflammation, emphasizing the role of microfluidics and on-chip technologies in IBD research. These technologies allow precise manipulation of cellular and microbial interactions in a physiologically relevant context, simulating the intestinal ecosystem microscopically. By integrating cellular components and replicating 3D tissue architecture, they offer promising models for studying host-microbe interactions, wound healing, and therapeutic approaches. Continuous refinement of these technologies promises to advance IBD understanding and therapy development, inspiring further innovation and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
