Abstract

We report a 3D biomimetic microsystem which mimics lung microenvironment for monitoring the role of chemokine induced lung inflammation. The extravasation of fibrocytes in response to eosinophil cationic protein (ECP)-stimulated bronchial epithelial cells induced lung inflammation was mimicked on the micro-fluidic chip system for monitoring the microenvironmental changes.
