Hypoxia-enhanced Blood-Brain Barrier Chip recapitulates human barrier function and shuttling of drugs and antibodies

In vitro blood-brain barrier (BBB) models do not fully recapitulate the in vivo barrier function. Here the authors develop an organ-on-a-chip BBB model using iPS-derived human brain endothelial cells differentiated under hypoxia, primary human pericytes and astrocytes, which maintains in vivo-like B...
