Tumour-on-a-chip: microfluidic models of tumour morphology, growth and microenvironment
Open accessAbstract
Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death, albeit enormous efforts to cure the disease. To overcome the major challenges in cancer therapy, we need to have a better understanding of the tumour microenvironment (TME), as well as a more effective means to screen anti-cancer drug leads; both can be achieved using advanced technologies, including the emerging tumour-on-a-chip technology. Here, we review the recent development of the tumour-on-a-chip technology, which integrates microfluidics, microfabrication, tissue engineering and biomaterials research, and offers new opportunities for building and applying functional three-dimensional in vitro human tumour models for oncology research, immunotherapy studies and drug screening. In particular, tumour-on-a-chip microdevices allow well-controlled microscopic studies of the interaction among tumour cells, immune cells and cells in the TME, of which simple tissue cultures and animal models are not amenable to do. The challenges in developing the next-generation tumour-on-a-chip technology are also discussed.

The Introduction and §4.1 (pages not provided) describe tumor-on-a-chip systems as promising for drug discovery and for screening drug molecules by efficacy and safety. The paper does not specifically say they will minimize non-specific toxicity, so that part of the claim is not supported. (LLM, conf=0.83)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredTumor-on-chip models hold promise as a cost-effective and higher-throughput resource for screening anticancer drugs.
“Tumor-on-chip models based on these organ-on-chip systems can recreate human tumor microenvironments and now hold great promise as a new resource for cost-effective and higher-throughput screening of anticancer drugs [13,14,15,16,17] and powerful enablers of precision medicine [18].”

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.
