TAU, Harvard Researchers Build Human 'Body-On-Chips' To Better Predict Drug Response

Amazing stuff! Up to 10 organ-on-chip were fluidically linked together to form a a functional human Body-on-Chips platform! 

"The interrogator [body-on-chips platform] enabled the team to culture, perfuse, and link the living human cultured tissues in a multi-Organ Chip system, as well as add and sample the medium in a fully programmable way using the device’s robotic liquid transfer capabilities, while continuously monitoring tissue integrity ..."

This should promote and boost diagnostics, drug testing and so much more ...
