Are organ-chips the future of preclinical research?

Drug Discovery World

With cues from a diverse population of tissue-specific cell types, extracellular matrix proteins, and biomechanical forces, cells grown in organ-chips closely emulate their in vivo counterparts and replicate tissue-level functions. But can organ-chips entirely replace other models? Not yet, according to Ewart.
