How Are Organ-on-a-Chip Systems Transforming Toxicology?
Organ-on-a-chip technology is a revolutionary tool that mimics the physiological responses of whole organs within a microfluidic system. These chips contain human cells and can simulate the complex interactions within organs like the liver, heart, and lungs. By providing a more accurate representation of human biology, organ-on-a-chip systems improve the precision of toxicity testing, offering insights into how substances might affect humans without resorting to animal models.
