From the Human Body to Microfluidics
Description
This template was adapted from the original submission. Edits were made to enhance scientific accuracy, optimal usability and/or to meet industry-leading design standards for science communication.
A challenge to understanding how the human organs work together is creating platforms to study them in a controlled manner. Microfluidic systems allow parallel arrangement of tissues in a single chip by organizing multiple cell types in unique compartments. Researchers aim to create body-on-a-chip microfluidic platforms in the future that can be used for drug testing and to study organ-organ interactions.
