Establishment of a human three-dimensional chip-based chondro-synovial coculture joint model for reciprocal cross talk studies in arthritis research

cultures. Consequently, we established a chip-based three-dimensional tissue coculture model that simulates the reciprocal cross talk between individual synovial and chondral organoids. When co-cultivated with synovial organoids, we could demonstrate that chondral organoids induce a higher degree of cartilage physiology and architecture and show differential cytokine response compared to their respective monocultures highlighting the importance of reciprocal tissue-level cross talk in the modelling of arthritic diseases.
