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 ...

Already, this technology has been used to mimic various individual organs into a chip format, including the liver, lung, tumours, and muscles, among others. As the technology advances further ...

Chinese researchers are reporting new steps in the quest for animal-to-human organ transplants. Researchers at Xijing ...

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.

Cue the multi-organ-on-a-chip (multi-OOC), a more accurate representation ... Using a multi-OOC composed of bone marrow, cardiac muscle, and liver tissue, this team of bioengineers sought to ...

which is based on the so-called “organ-on-chip” technology. The developed platform represents the three main human tissues involved in drug utilization - liver, intestine and placenta.

And the same research team also reported an experiment implanting a pig liver into a brain-dead person. Scientists are genetically altering pigs so their organs are more humanlike in hopes of ...
