organ on a chip

Researchers are going beyond fecal samples to understand how the patterns of commensal microbes in the gastrointestinal tract influence development and health.

Organ chips are physiologically relevant models for drug toxicity testing.

Scientists engineered a lung-on-a-chip model from patient cells that mimics cystic fibrosis.

The COVID-19 pandemic is still with us. Biomedical innovation has rallied to address that pressing concern while continuing to tackle broader research challenges.

Lucie Low, a project leader for Tissue Chips in Space, describes the experiments that are slated to blast off later this week.

A new device from the Wyss Institute at Harvard University simulates the effects of cigarette smoke on human lungs.

This device models the female reproductive tract and might lead scientists to a greater understanding of fibroids, cancer, and infertility.

Scientists hope that these devices will one day replace animal models of disease and help advance personalized medicine.
