Multi human organ chip

The Wyss Institute specializes in mind-boggling. Here, in text and a video, researchers show and automated, robotic laboratory machine that “. . .  serially linked the vascular channels of eight different Organ Chips, including intestine, liver, kidney, heart, lung, skin, blood-brain barrier and brain, using a highly optimized common blood substitute, while independently perfusing the individual channels lined by organ-specific cells,”. . . . The instrument maintained the viability of all tissues and their organ-specific functions for over three weeks and, importantly, it allowed us to quantitatively predict the tissue-specific distribution of a chemical across the entire system.”  MORE
