Blood vessels twist, branch, narrow, and balloon in ways that dramatically affect how blood flows — but most lab models have long treated them like straight pipes. Researchers at Texas A&M have now ...

Organ-on-chip devices are small, transparent microfluidic platforms, typically the size of a microscope slide, etched with tiny channels through which fluids circulate ...

3D heart on a chip technology: Scientists have created a groundbreaking 3D heart-on-a-chip. This lab-grown tissue beats and ...

To better understand our cells and extracellular matrix—the 3D scaffolding that surrounds our cells—scientists apply different mechanical forces to simulate these microenvironments. A new study uses ...

Multinational technology giant IBM has developed a “lab-on-a-chip” device that’s designed to separate biological particles at the nanoscale to enable physicians to detect diseases such as cancer ...
