| Abstract |
Infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites pose a significant societal challenge. In response, scientists are developing advanced technology to enhance the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of such diseases. One such promising technology is microfluidic systems, which are utilized in organ‐on‐a‐chip systems to replicate the microenvironments of organs. These systems have potential applications in drug screening, disease modeling, and personalized medicine. This review provides an overview of recent advances in organ‐on‐a‐chip platforms and their potential for preventing and diagnosing various infections. After discussing traditional techniques employed in studying infectious diseases, the role of microfluidic platforms in detecting infections is delved in. It is expound on advanced microfluidic‐based strategies for infection diagnosis, such as the polymerase chain reaction‐based microfluidic devices, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay‐based microfluidic devices, hierarchical nanofluidic molecular enrichment systemand µWestern blotting‐based microfluidic devices, and smartphone‐based microfluidic devices. Additionally, future research challenges and perspectives are discussed on microfluidic systems in biomedical and regenerative medicine applications. Consequently, microfluidic platforms have the potential to serve as fundamental frameworks for understanding infectious diseases, thereby leading to personalized regenerative medicine. hierarchical nanofluidic molecular enrichment system |
