Effect of dynamic fluid flow on different GOC models and respective cell lines.

GOC Model Flow Rate: Outcome:
HuMiX [34] Flow rate: 25 µL min −1
(Shear rate not reported)
  • Caco-2 cell growth and differentiation

  • Allowed for constant monitoring of the effects of the co-culture on the individual co-cultured cell contingents.

Organ-on-Chip with TEER [35] Shear rate: 1 dyne/cm2 (equivalent to 60 µL h−1)
  • Caco-2 cells differentiation

  • Spontaneous villi-formation

Intestine Chips
[36]
Flow rate: 60 µL h−1
(Shear rate not reported)
Cyclic strain: 10% cell strain; 0.15 Hz frequency
  • Caco-2 cell growth, differentiation, and polarisation

  • Spontaneous villi-formation

  • Mucus production and established barrier function.

Intestine Chip
