While this is feasible in principle, the problem gets bogged down by the immense computational cost of each atomistic simulation. Significant progress has been made with molecules chemically bonded to single-crystal silicon surfaces. An example is a buckyball (C60) differently bonded to the 2 × ...
The first steps in attaining structural biomimicry have been made with bile tube simulation, yet functional biomimicry, such as bile acid secretion, is still in progress. The lack of testing standards, uniformity, real-time monitoring, and the relatively low throughput of liver chips are additional...
