human organ-on-a-chip systems

Human organ-on-a-chip systems are advanced, small-scale devices that mimic the functions of real human organs. They use tiny channels and chambers lined with living cells to replicate the biological processes of organs like the lung, liver, or heart. These systems allow scientists to study how organs respond to drugs, toxins, or diseases in a controlled environment, reducing the need for animal testing. By providing realistic models of human organ behavior, organ-on-a-chip technology aims to improve medical research, drug development, and personalized medicine.
