Abstract

The conventional platforms for cell characterization and drug delivery do not match the new precise demands of researchers. Because of numerous advantages like miniaturization, low cost, flexibility, and preciseness, microfluidic systems as robust research tools herald a new era of molecular medicine and drug delivery. A special type of microfluidic system, organ-on-a-chip(s), represents cell biological techniques and microfluidic combination. In this chapter, we have focused on investigating different parts and roles of microfluidics on the organ-on-a-chip technology. © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
