Kidney-on-a-chip comprising renal tubule culture part and interstitium culture part

Abstract

The present invention relates to: an organ-on-a-chip for mimicking kidney tissue in which renal tubular epithelial cells and renal fibroblasts are co-cultured; a method for manufacturing the organ-on-a-chip; a device for co-culturing three types of cells; and a method for screening for renal fibrosis therapeutic agents by using the organ-on-a-chip. A kidney-on-a-chip according to one embodiment of the present invention has the excellent effects of enabling the time and errors required in screening for renal fibrosis therapeutic agents to be minimized and renal fibrosis therapeutic agents to be more conveniently and simply screened for through an objective evaluation index.
