Organ-on-a-chip is a system that has natural miniature tissues grown inside microfluidic chips. It is a 3D microfluidic cell culture platform which mimics the mechanics, functions, and physiological responses of a respective organ. This platform is created with microfabrication techniques which creates hollow microchannel lined by living cells and tissues cultured within an organ-relevant physical context, which are continuously perfused with life-sustaining culture medium. According to the US FDA, the organ-chips are designed to accurately recreate the natural physiology and mechanical forces that cells experience in the human body. According to Wyss Institute, organ-on-chips are 3D micro fluidic devices that mimic the structure and functions of living human organs. This technology allows researchers to study the functioning of the organ and the effect of drugs on the organs without using animal models.
