Remarkable efforts have been dedicated on the studies of cultured cells over the last few years, which have given us a new insight into the biological control and provided us considerable knowledge about the human pathophysiology. With the immerging technology of microfluidic Lab-on-a-chip we have been able to analyse intercellular communications and tissue-tissue interactions in a more convenient and comprehensive manner. The microfluidic Lab-on-a-chip is undoubtedly the most optimistic platform to address the inherent complicacy of cellular system with 4D analysis and huge experimental parallelization on a single cell level. In this paper, we have summarized a few recent examples of studies that provide a glimpse of what is now possible using human organs-on-chips, and the unique advantages this approach can provide beyond those offered by existing culture systems used to study intercellular communication in vitro.
