Abstract
As a full-fidelity simulation of human cells, tissues, organs, and even systems at the microscopic scale, Organ-on-a-Chip (OOC) has significant ethical advantages and development potential compared to animal experiments. The need for the design of new drug high-throughput screening platforms and the mechanistic study of human tissues/organs under pathological conditions, the evolving advances in 3D cell biology and engineering, etc., have promoted the updating of technologies in this field, such as the iteration of chip materials and 3D printing, which in turn facilitate the connection of complex multi-organs-on-chips for simulation and the further development of technology-composite new drug high-throughput screening platforms. As the most critical part of organ-on-a-chip design and practical application, verifying the success of organ model modeling, i.e., evaluating various biochemical and physical parameters in OOC devices, is crucial. Therefore, this paper provides a logical and comprehensive review and discussion of the advances in organ-on-a-chip detection and evaluation technologies from a broad perspective, covering the directions of tissue engineering scaffolds, microenvironment, single/multi-organ function, and stimulus-based evaluation, and provides a more comprehensive review of the progress in the significant organ-on-a-chip research areas in the physiological state.

Abstract
Dopamine (DA) homeostasis influences emotions, neural circuit development, cognition, and the reward system. Dysfunctions in DA regulation can lead to neurological disorders, including depression, developmental disorders, and addiction. DA homeostasis disruption is a primary cause of Parkinson's Disease (PD). Therefore, understanding the relationship between DA homeostasis and PD progression may clarify the mechanisms for pharmacologically treating PD. This study developed a novel in vitro DA homeostasis platform which consists of three main parts: (1) a microfluidic device for culturing DAergic neurons, (2) an optical detection system for reading DA levels, and (3) an automatic closed-loop control system that establishes when and how much medication to infuse; this uses a microfluidic device that can cultivate DAergic neurons, perfuse solutions, perform in vitro PD modeling, and continuously monitor DA concentrations. The automatically controlled closed-loop control system simultaneously monitors pharmacological PD treatment to support long-term monitoring of DA homeostasis. SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were chosen as DAergic neurons. They were cultivated in the microfluidic device, and real-time cellular DA level measurements successfully achieved long-term monitoring and modulation of DA homeostasis. When applied in combination with multiday cell culture, this advanced system can be used for drug screening and fundamental biological studies.

Abstract
The concept of digital microfluidics (DMF) enables highly flexible and precise droplet manipulation at a picoliter scale, making DMF a promising approach to realize integrated, miniaturized "lab-on-a-chip" (LOC) systems for research and clinical purposes. Owing to its simplicity and effectiveness, electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) is one of the most commonly studied and applied effects to implement DMF. However, complex biomedical assays usually require more sophisticated sample handling and detection capabilities than basic EWOD manipulation. Alternatively, combined systems integrating EWOD actuators and other fluidic handling techniques are essential for bringing DMF into practical use. In this paper, we briefly review the main approaches for the integration/combination of EWOD with other microfluidic manipulation methods or additional external fields for specified biomedical applications. The form of integration ranges from independently operating sub-systems to fully coupled hybrid actuators. The corresponding biomedical applications of these works are also summarized to illustrate the significance of these innovative combination attempts.

Abstract
Finger-stick blood sampling is convenient for point of care diagnostics, but whole blood samples are problematic for many assays because of severe matrix effects associated with blood cells and cell debris. We introduce a new digital microfluidic (DMF) diagnostic platform with integrated porous membranes for blood-plasma separation from finger-stick blood volumes, capable of performing complex, multi-step, diagnostic assays. Importantly, the samples can be directly loaded onto the device by a finger "dab" for user-friendly operation. We characterize the platform by comparison to plasma generated via the "gold standard" centrifugation technique, and demonstrate a 21-step rubella virus (RV) IgG immunoassay yielding a detection limit of 1.9 IU mL-1, below the diagnostic cut-off. We propose that this work represents a critical next step in DMF based portable diagnostic assays-allowing the analysis of whole blood samples without pre-processing.
