But new “organs-on-chips” technology is emulating the liver, brain, lungs, intestines, and more on a chip the size of a USB stick. Until now scientists conducted most biomedical research ...

As an example, the lung-on-a-chip mimics a breathing human lung, with human lung cells in contact with human capillary blood vessel cells. “And then [by adding simulated breathing motions] the whole ...

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 ...

The first reported organ-on-a-chip device was a lung-on-a-chip developed by the Wyss Institute at Harvard University in 2010. Since then, the field has rapidly evolved, with researchers developing ...
