Reconfigurable Multi-Organ-on-a-Chip System Reliably Evaluates Chemotherapy Toxicity (4 of 5) (VIDEO)
Caption
A technician assembles a cardiac organ-on-a-chip system to test how the heart cells are affected by different drugs by monitoring the electrical activity, similar to what could be seen with an EKG on a person. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the June 19, 2019, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by C.W. McAleer at Hesperos Inc. in Orlando, FL; and colleagues was titled, 'Multi-organ system for the evaluation of efficacy and off-target toxicity of anticancer therapeutics.'
