Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organ-on-Chip (OoC) models present new possibilities in reproducing the physiological and pathological states of the human body. Models of this type show great potential in better summarizing the main characteristics of real human organs in terms of organ-specific cell types, tissue architecture and function. Moreover, OoC models are an alternative to conventional monolayer cell culture and animal models in biomedical research, while filling the gap between a single cell and an organism in model systems of human physiological and pathological states. In addition, the combination of OoC techniques with organoids can serve as personalized disease models in precision medicine, e.g., in revealing disease mechanisms, testing personalized clinical therapies and in evaluating drug candidates.
The aim of this Special Issue of Organoids is to present new reports that advance knowledge regarding the use of organoids in Organ-on-Chip systems. We welcome the submission of scientific articles and reviews that focus on aspects of organ modeling, disease modeling or drug screening examples using these two approaches.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Organoids is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
