Cancer-on-a-chip systems at the frontier of nanomedicine
Open accessAbstract
Nanomedicine provides a unique opportunity for promoting drug efficacy through enhanced delivery mechanisms. However, its translation into the clinics has been relatively slow compared with the large amount of research occurring in laboratory settings. Given the limitations of conventional cell culture models and preclinical animal models, we discuss the potential utility of recently developed cancer-on-a-chip platforms, which maximally replicate the pathophysiology of the human tumor microenvironments, as alternatives for effective evaluation of nanomedicine. We begin with a brief discussion of nanomedicine, then chart the history of organ-on-a-chip platform development and their recent evolution as tools for modeling different cancers for assessing nanomedicine efficacy, concluding with future perspectives for the field.

“Today, tumor-on-chip systems are the most promising embodiment of in vitro platforms capable of faithfully recapitulation of relevant aspects of the biochemical complexity and dynamics of the tumor niche in a controlled environment (i.e., with much lower variability than is associated with in vivo systems [8,54,113]).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
