Biomimetic in vitro lung models: Current challenges and future perspective.
Adv. Mater. 35:e2210519 (2023)
As post-COVID complications, chronic respiratory diseases are one of the foremost causes of mortality. The quest for a cure for this recent global challenge underlines that the lack of predictive in vitro lung models is one of the main bottlenecks in pulmonary preclinical drug development. Despite rigorous efforts to develop biomimetic in vitro lung models, the current cutting-edge models represent a compromise in numerous technological and biological aspects. Most advanced in vitro models are still in the “proof-of-concept” phase with a low clinical translation of the findings. On the other hand, advances in cellular and molecular studies are mainly based on relatively simple and unrealistic in vitro models. Herein, the current challenges and potential strategies toward not only bioinspired but truly biomimetic lung models are discussed.
