MULTI-LINEAGE CARDIOVASCULAR MICROFLUIDIC ORGAN-CHIP
摘要:
Described herein is a human, cardiovascular platform for assessing cardiotoxicity of novel/existing chemotherapeutic agents that takes advantage of microfluidic organ chip systems to examine interaction between hiPSC-derived cardiovascular cells in an integrated system. Human induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) and human induced pluripotent stem cell derived endothelial cells (hiPSC-ECs) can serve as an in-vitro platform for assessing disease pathology, including infectious disease, evaluate drug efficacy, toxicity, cardiotoxicity and cardioprotection. This includes evaluating VEGFR2/PDGFR-inhibiting tyrosine kinase inhibitors and drug efficacy in a viral infection model, including coronaviruses. They are scalable, functionally-active cell types that mimic the cells comprising the myocardium and systemic vasculature.
