Abstrakt: Microphysiological systems (MPS) are gaining broader application in the pharmaceutical industry but have primarily been leveraged in early discovery toxicology and pharmacology studies with small molecules. The adoption of MPS offers a promising avenue to reduce animal use, improve in-vitro-to-in-vivo translation of pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and toxicity correlation, and provide mechanistic understanding of model species suitability. While MPS have demonstrated utility in these areas with small molecules and biologics, MPS models in cell therapy development have not been fully explored, let alone validated. Distinguishing features of MPS, including longterm viability and physiologically relevant expression of functional enzymes, receptors, and pharmacological targets make them attractive tools for nonclinical characterization. However, there is currently limited published evidence of MPS being utilized to study the disposition, metabolism, pharmacology, and toxicity profiles of cell therapies. This review provides an industry perspective on the nonclinical application of MPS on cell therapies, first with a focus on oncology applications followed by examples in regenerative medicine.
