Abstract

In this issue, Vatine et al. (2019) present a fully human blood-brain barrier chip that accurately predicts drug permeability and can be perfused with whole blood. Utilizing patient-derived tissue, they recapitulate disease-specific defects and establish a platform to advance drug screening and disease modeling.
