Introduction: Approximately 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy, with many not achieving seizure freedom. Organ-on-chip technology, which mimics organ-level physiology, could revolutionize drug development for epilepsy by replacing animal models in preclinical studies. Our goal is to determine if customized micro-physiological systems can lead tailored treatments epileptic patients. Materials and methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted utilizing various databases,...
