Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of applying microfluidic chip technology to the construction of in vitro organ models, in particular to a glomerular system based on a microfluidic chip and its application. Background technique
[0002] Kidney is one of the main target organs of drug toxicity. The kidney is composed of more than 20 kinds of cells with different ultrastructure, metabolic capacity and transport function, and is an important organ for drug excretion. When chemical drugs are excreted by the kidneys, they will be selectively enriched in renal cells, causing damage to cell membranes, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes, destroying cell integrity, and causing renal cell apoptosis or necrosis. Reduce glomerular filtration and renal tubular reabsorption, resulting in an imbalance of water and electrolytes in the body, and even acute renal failure in severe cases. Therefore, observation of drug nephrotoxicity is an im...
