Organ-on-a-chip is a technology that involves creating micro-engineered devices that mimic the functions and structures of human organs. These miniaturized systems integrate living cells and biomaterials in a way that simulates the physiological environment of an organ. The goal is to replicate specific organ systems to study biological processes, disease mechanisms, drug responses, and to optimize therapeutic strategies.
