ABSTRACT
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) not only maintains the stability of the environment within the central nervous system by controlling the transport of substances on both sides of the blood and brain, but also plays an important role in the R&D of new drugs for neurological disorders. The establishment of an in vitro high-fidelity model to study BBB function is imperative for assessing barrier permeability of drugs and xenobiotics. However, the complexity of the BBB structure makes it difficult to replicate with an in vitro model. Compared to the traditional in vitro BBB model, the BBB-on-chip provides certain advantages in miniaturizing the system, reducing the amount of cells and medium required, and allowing simultaneously induction of shear stress. We review here the BBB-on-chip models from their establishment and characterization to applications in research of neuroinflammation, brain tumor and drug evaluation.
