What is an Organ-on-a-Chip? An organ-on-a-chip is a microfluidic device that simulates the key functions and physiological responses of a specific human organ or organ system on a miniaturized scale.

But new “organs-on-chips” technology is emulating the liver, brain, lungs, intestines, and more on a chip the size of a USB stick. Until now scientists conducted most biomedical research ...

The Organ-on-a-Chip (OOAC) technology simulates various organ systems depending on the specific cell types seeded onto the ...

Cue the multi-organ-on-a-chip (multi-OOC), a more accurate representation of individual human physiology. Already developed at Columbia University, this plug-and-play system allows for patient ...

Organ-on-a-chip The advance of technology has allowed organ-on-a-chip technology, which uses microfluidics to mimic the physiology and functionality of human organs on a chip.

3 Sharma didn’t skip a beat and got to work using a similar approach for modeling the heart. His team chose a commercial organ chip that contained two separate fluid channels. 4 In one channel, they ...

Researchers hope that studying the way these organs on a chip respond to microgravity—which is known to cause physiological changes, including some that mimic aspects of aging—will provide insights ...

US-based contract research organisation (CRO) PhenoVista Biosciences has entered a collaboration with NETRI, the France-based manufacturer of microfluidic devices for high-throughput screening, to ...

Researchers have developed a novel multi-organ-on-a-chip that can demonstrate toxicity more accurately than standard methods. Current drug testing practices have resulted in a large number of drugs ...

Innovative organ-on-chip specialist Dynamic42 and ESQlabs, experts in digital life sciences solutions, have successfully developed a three-organ system, in close collaboration with Consumer Health ...

For instance, Emulate, Inc. has commercialized the Organ-Chip (Chip-S1™), a PDMS ‘chip’ containing two overlapping micromolded channels that are vertically separated by a flexible ...

This technology is expected to make clinical trials cheaper and safer. The organ-on-chip technology also aims to fully replace animal testing in the future. Wadah has five years of research experience ...
