Simmons}, title = {Potential Applications of Microfluidics to Acute Kidney Injury Associated with Viral Infection}, abstract = {The kidneys are susceptible to adverse effects from many diseases, including several that are not tissue-specific. Acute kidney injury is a common complication of systemic diseases such as diabetes, lupus, and certain infections including the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Microfluidic devices are an attractive option for disease modeling, offering the opportunity to utilize human cells, control experimental and environmental conditions, and combine with other on-chip devices. For researchers with expertise in microfluidics, this brief perspective highlights potential applications of such devices to studying SARS-CoV-2-induced kidney injury.}, year = {2020}, journal = {Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering}, volume = {13}, pages = {305-311}, month = {2020-08-01}, issn = {1865-5033}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1007/s12195-020-00649-6}, doi = {10.1007/s12195-020-00649-6}, language = {en}, }
