Human Organs-on-a-Chip

Human organs-on-a-chip are small devices that mimic the structure and function of real organs, using tiny channels and chambers lined with living human cells. These microchips simulate how organs like the heart, liver, or lungs work, allowing researchers to study disease processes, test drugs, and understand human biology without relying solely on animal models. They provide a more accurate and ethical platform for medical research, helping to predict how new treatments will affect the human body more reliably than traditional lab methods.
