Collagen Tubular Airway‐on‐Chip for Extended Epithelial Culture and Investigation of Ventilation Dynamics (Small 27/2024)

Airway-on-a-Chip In article number 2309270, Axel Günther and co-workers present a collagen tube-based airway model with an epithelium that is perfused with warm, humid air while supplying from the outside culture medium and compensating for evaporation. The model recapitulates human small airways of a patient's lung, allowing for the first time to investigate the impact of different breathing and mechanical ventilation conditions on the epithelium to be investigated.
