Beyond Polydimethylsiloxane: Alternative Materials for Fabrication of Organ-on-a-Chip Devices and Microphysiological Systems

Scott B. Campbell et al.

Summary: PDMS is commonly used in organ-on-a-chip devices and microphysiological systems due to its ease-of-use, elasticity, and optical transparency, but its limitations in the absorption of small molecules and high-throughput manufacturing have led researchers to explore alternative materials such as elastomers, hydrogels, and thermoplastic polymers. The development of organ-on-a-chip devices based on these alternative materials is trending, with researchers focusing on overcoming obstacles to create versatile devices for personalized medicine and drug discovery.

Integration of Electrospun Membranes into Low-Absorption Thermoplastic Organ-on-Chip

Johanna Chuchuy et al.

Summary: Organ-on-chip systems have gained increasing interest, allowing for in vivo-like microenvironments and generation of various tissues or organs in miniaturized form. Commonly based on microfluidic modules with PDMS membranes, these systems face limitations due to PDMS's absorption of small hydrophobic molecules. Integrating electrospun membranes into PMMA modules offers a solution to create microenvironments resembling native extracellular matrix.

Mechanical Properties of Soft Biological Membranes for Organ-on-a-Chip Assessed by Bulge Test and AFM

Pauline Zamprogno et al.

Summary: Advanced in vitro models like organ-on-a-chip can mimic specific cellular environments found in tissues, with ECM playing a key role in tissue homeostasis. Collagen-elastin (CE) membranes with mechanical properties similar to those in vivo can be produced by adjusting the CE ratio, production mode, and temperature, with stiffness ranging from several hundred kPa down to 1 kPa. Assessment using AFM shows that cell spread is lower on softer CE membranes compared to stiffer ones.
