Toward Patient-on-a-Chip Microfluidics
May 24, 2022 | Terry Sharrer
“Experts hope that multi-organ chips will eventually lead to the creation of patient-on-a-chip technology. This precise approach would entail creating a complex, individualized multi-organ chip model allowing clinicians to develop treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique biology. It would also create an attractive alternative to the use of animal models. While many limiting factors still exist, including the expense of the components, the need for universal cell culture media, and the challenge of managing and interpreting data from such a complex system, the potential reward of revolutionizing our approach to personalized medicine and laboratory research keep scientists pushing forward.” MORE
