Summary

Story summary

Researchers developed an intestine-liver-on-a-chip model using wild-type and genome-edited Caco-2 and HepG2 cells.
The model supported effective co-culture with minimal impact on cell integrity.
Researchers assessed absorption and metabolism under static and dynamic conditions using acetaminophen and bufuralol.
The genome-edited chip distinguished drug concentrations and evaluated interactions, especially cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors like itraconazole.
