Abstract
- Microfluidic is a technology that allows the precise control of fluid in a micro-channel. With its advantages of high throughput and low cost, microfluidic technology has achieved good performance in various fields in recent years. Arthritis is a general term for a variety of joint diseases, which can be clinically manifested as joint pain and swelling, seriously affecting people's physical and mental health. At present, the causes of arthritis disease are still unknown, and existing disease models and treatment methods are still limited, so more treatments need to be developed. Microfluidic organ chip is a cutting-edge technology to build a bionic human organ model, which can reflect the structure and function characteristics of human organs by simulating the physiological environment of tissues and cells in vitro. This paper reviews the application of microfluidic technology in the modeling and treatment of arthritis, hoping to open up a new vision for the study of arthritis.
