We’ve discussed a variety of body parts on chips that were developed for drug testing, including neurons and placenta. According to a recent Medgadget article, the latest development is a “human-on-a-chip” that links up to 10 organ chips to mimic blood flow between different organ systems. The devices allow for more comprehensive drug testing, allowing scientists to see the effects of a drug on multiple organs at the same time. This could lead to cheaper drug testing and spare animals that were once subjects of tests.
