Cheaper Drugs — Biomedical Engineers’ ‘Body-on-a-Chip’ Could Reduce Cost of Developing New Drugs
ScienceDaily () — A new kind of microchip can host human cells to mimic the reaction of different tissues in the body. The chip could help reduce the need for animal testing, and lower the cost of developing new pharmaceuticals. Medical researchers are using it to study the effect of chemotherapy drugs on cancer cells.
