Second-generation lung-on-a-chip with an array of stretchable alveoli made with a biological membrane
Zamprogno et al. report a lung-on-a-chip of the second generation that mimics an array of alveoli with in vivo-like dimensions, based on a thin, stretchable collagen-elastin membrane used to reproduce the air-blood barrier functions. The membrane is stable, can be cultured on both sides for weeks, i...
