Bioengineering Long-lasting 3D Neurovascular Microphysiological System to Model Chronic Inflammation-mediated Neurodegeneration.
The goal of this project is to bioengineer a long-lasting 3D neurovascular model for up to 6 months. Such a model is valuable to evaluate the impact of chronic stressors on the brain, such as drugs, environmental toxins, bacterial/viral infections, inflammation in neurodegeneration, as well as microgravity and radiation in long-term space flight.
Organ/Tissue on chip models have broad applications such as 1) modeling human diseases; 2) drug development; 3) clinical trail design, 4) chemical and environmental exposures and countermeasures, and 5) physiological changes in spaceflight. However, one of the main limitations of current systems is that they do not last more than one month, which is inadequate to model chronic diseases.
Recognizing this challenge, several federal agencies (NASA, NIH, BARDA, FDA) joint effort to establish multi-agency collaboration. This effort, sponsored by NASA’s Space Biology Program, reflects a collaboration between NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, NASA’s Human Research Program, NIH’s National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Cancer Institute (NCI), Department of Health and Human Services Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), and the FDA.
