Harvard touts 1st 3D-printed organ-on-a-chip with integrated sensing

Harvard touts 1st 3D-printed organ-on-a-chip with integrated sensing

Researchers from Harvard University developed what they tout as the 1st entirely 3D-printed organ-on-a-chip with integrated sensing. The heart-on-a-chip was quickly manufactured by a fully automated, digital procedure and allows researchers to collect data for short-term and long-term studies.

The team, who published their work in Nature Materials, hope that one day this approach may allow researchers to design organs-on-chips that match the properties that characterize a particular disease or an individual patient’s cells.
