Using an Organ-on-a-chip (OOC) approach, the microarchitecture of liver tissue can be closely reproduced by growing physiologically relevant compilations of primary liver cells (including those ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Now these organs on chips, also known as microphysiological ... “genius grant,” designed a crude early version of a liver chip in the late 1990s: a flat silicon chip, just a few hundred ...

Additionally, organ-on-chip technology is not just applicable to the liver, lung, and heart; in recent years, much focus has been placed on extending the organ's applications and sites.
