Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) results from an insulin resistance condition that affects mainly adipose and skeletal muscle tissues by altering their glucose uptake and leading to major clinical complications. Moreover, it is known that these tissues interact each other with a negative cross-talk that worsen the pathology. Due to its clinical complexity, T2D would require patient-specific treatment. In this context it will be extremely helpful to have in vitro human tissue-based assays, able to provide biological responses representative of the in vivo patient-specific pathology. The aim of this PhD thesis is the development and integration of human tissue models in a microfluidic technology, for in vitro T2D drug testing on patient-derived tissues...
