However, their static culture still limits the emulation of essential physiological properties crucial for toxicity testing and compound screening. Here, we describe a dynamically perfused chip-based bioreactor platform capable of applying variable mechanical shear stress and extending culture periods. This leads to improvements of culture conditions for integrated in vitro skin models, ex vivo skin organ cultures and biopsies of single hair follicular units.en004 Datenverarbeitung; Informatik570 Biowissenschaften; Biologie540 Chemie und zugeordnete WissenschaftenArticle1473-019723674126
