Organ-on-a-chip is an innovative technology that integrates living cells into a microchip to simulate the activities, mechanics, and physiological responses of entire organs. These chips are small, cost-effective, and capable of providing real-time data on how an organ might respond to a particular substance.
This technology holds promise for personalized medicine, as it can be tailored to mimic individual patient conditions. By using cells derived from a specific person, researchers can evaluate how that individual's organs might react to a drug, paving the way for more personalized and effective treatments.
