Using a microfluidic platform that connects engineered tissues from up to 10 organs, the researchers can accurately replicate human organ interactions for weeks at a time, allowing them to measure the effects of
drugs on different parts of the body.
Should your seat belt unlatch or fail, you may be ejected out of your seat and car or suffer contact trauma
on different parts of your body as the car rolls over itself, especially prevalent in cases where vehicles are travelling at a fast speed.
Efforts to understand the mechanisms that drive melanoma have spurred research into vitiligo, a condition that generates white patches on the skin that
appear on different parts of the body.
As the design is simple, it could easily be scaled down to a smaller size to
fit on different parts of the body such as the inside of the wrist or the back of a shoulder.
To measure the effects of
drugs on different parts of the body, MIT's new «Physiome - on - a-chip» microfluidic platform can connect 3D tissues from up to 10 «organs on chips» — allowing researchers to accurately replicate human - organ interactions for weeks at a time.
Replacing animal testing, it can accurately replicate human - organ interactions for weeks at a time and can allow for measuring the effects of drugs
on different parts of the body, according to the engineers.
Before you take a shower or bath brush your skin
on different parts of your body, spend at least 5 minutes or more when doing this.
