Organ-on-a-chip technology

Organ-on-a-chip technology involves creating small, engineered devices that mimic the functions of human organs. These chips contain tiny channels and structures lined with living cells, allowing researchers to study how organs respond to drugs, diseases, or environmental factors in a controlled environment. They enable more accurate testing and understanding of human biology without relying solely on animal models or traditional lab methods. This innovative approach can lead to better drug development, personalized medicine, and insights into organ health and disease, all within compact, laboratory-friendly devices.
