The liver has a unique structure, especially at the level of individual cells. Hepatocytes, the main liver cells, release ...

including the liver, bone, and lung.We fabricated a biomimetic microfluidic organ-on-a-chip inspired by leaf veins. In this system, three-dimensional cultures of human hepatocyte LO2 cells, human bone ...

Over the last decades, several innovations have advanced the understanding of human biology and diseases. From the development of induced pluripotent stem ...

Femtosecond source produces precise, stable channels for blood supply in tissue models. The breakthrough, described in ...

Researchers have established a method to create a network of perfusable blood vessels in organs-on-chips, enabling better ...

Miniature organs on a chip could allow us to do scientific studies with great precision, without having to resort to animal testing. The main problem, however, is that artificial tissue needs blood ...

In biomedical research, so-called organs-on-a-chip, also referred to as microphysiological systems, are becoming increasingly ...
