Special Issue Title: Sensor-Integrated Organs-on-a-Chip: Bridging Biosensing and Advanced Cell Models
Guest Editors: Dr. Ken-ichiro Kamei, Dr. Yoshikazu Hirai, Dr. Yong-Ak (Rafael) Song
This forthcoming special issue of Cell Therapy & Engineering Connect will spotlight cutting-edge advances in the integration of biosensors with organ-on-a-chip (OoC) technologies to better model dynamic cellular microenvironments and tissue functions. Sensor-integrated OoC platforms are redefining how we assess physiological responses in real time, enabling unprecedented resolution in disease modeling, drug screening, and regenerative medicine.
The issue aims to gather contributions from interdisciplinary researchers working at the interface of tissue engineering, biosensing, microfluidics, and computational biology.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Development of electrochemical, optical, and mechanical biosensors for integration with OoC systems
- Real-time sensing of metabolites, cytokines, oxygen, and pH in microphysiological systems
- Integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning for sensor data analysis and predictive modeling
- Sensor-guided control of microenvironments in cell therapy applications
- Applications in disease modeling, toxicology, and precision medicine using sensor-integrated platforms
- Scalable manufacturing and standardization of sensorized OoC technologies
- Multi-organ and body-on-a-chip platforms with embedded biosensing systems
We invite submissions of original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and forward-looking perspectives that align with the scope of this special issue.
