As astronauts venture further into space, their exposure to harmful radiation rises. Researchers from Columbia University are ...

What is an Organ-on-a-Chip? An organ-on-a-chip is a microfluidic device that simulates the key functions and physiological responses of a specific human organ or organ system on a miniaturized scale.

But new “organs-on-chips” technology is emulating the liver, brain, lungs, intestines, and more on a chip the size of a USB stick. Until now scientists conducted most biomedical research ...

Perhaps the most beautiful thing about pharmacology, and the healthcare industry at large, is the continued pursuit of new ideas and innovations. Not simply for the sake of change, but to develop ...

The CRADA collaboration agreement allows for future expansion to additional Organ-Chips, including the Intestine-Chip, Lung-Chip, and Cardiac systems. The partners say that depending on the ...

For instance, Emulate, Inc. has commercialized the Organ-Chip (Chip-S1™), a PDMS ‘chip’ containing two overlapping micromolded channels that are vertically separated by a flexible ...

during which time the organs functioned normally, allowing pain-free intercourse, the team reported. Almost a decade later, scientists developed the world's first "vagina-on-a-chip". The device ...

The future: Lab-on-a-chip and organ-on-a-chip The terms microfluidic chip and lab-on-a-chip (LOC) are often used interchangeably, but they can refer to slightly different things. A microfluidic chip ...
