Hesperos Human-On-A-Chip System (IMAGE)
Caption
Hesperos's reconfigurable human-based body-on-a-chip system mimics the way human organs interact with each other and respond to drug testing. Multiple organs are placed in the compact system, and can include liver, heart, cancer, bone marrow, skeletal muscle, spinal cord neurons, brain neurons, and others. The system can be used for testing effectiveness and safety of drugs and drug combinations, and can be created to mimic different human diseases. Using human body-on-a-chip systems has the potential to reduce or eliminate animals in drug testing and improve the drug-discovery process.
