The organ-on-a-chip concept creates small-scale biological structures that mimic a specific organ function such as transferring oxygen from the air into the bloodstream in the same way that a lung does. The goal is to use these organs-on-a-chip — also called microphysiological models — to expedite high-throughput testing to assess toxicity or to evaluate the effectiveness of new drugs.
