Looking back the history of the microfluidics’ development, all the key surging points was initiated from the application of new fabrication modality, such as soft-lithography-based prototyping, which revolutionized this field by greatly lowering the accessibility of microfabrication. We believe the trend for lowering and democratizing the fabrication process should keep going on because biologists begin to harness the microengineering technologies to address the problems during biological experiments such as building and recapitulating organ-like functions on a transparent circuit with highly temporal-spatial controllable way. Herein we present an easy operating microfluidic physiological system that enables liver-tumor spheroids interactions within a 3D printing-cast-based microfluidic chip, recapitulating the liver-tumor microenvironment with an integrative format.

Liang Zhao, Associate Professor, Beijing University of Technology

Dr. Zhao is currently associate professor in Chemical Department, Beijing University of Technology. Before that, he worked for University of Science and Technology Beijing. His research interests mainly focused on recapitulating tumor and important organs with new microfluidic device, which can facilitate in vitro assay with precise spatial and temporal controlling of cells, spheroids, and organoids. Also, he is interest about developing new microfluidic tools for biomedical research with 3D printing fabrication and integration. He is the associate editor of the journal Heliyon as well.
