MeSH definition : Devices designed to recapitulate tissue or organ-level physiology and architect by
combining MICROFLUIDICS; MICROFABRICATION; and 3D CELL CULTURE. Microphysiological
systems mimic interconnections important in physiological or pathophysiological states
of organ(s) and are often used for instance in HIGH THROUGHPUT SCREENING of drugs
and factors important in disease modeling.;
