I am really excited to share our paper in Nature Reviews Bioengineering @natrevbioeng on the integration of #organoids into #organ-on-a-chip systems. This is the future of drug discovery and human disease modelling
Organoids and OoCs aim to improve drug testing and disease modelling, but each suffer from limitations. @milicaruoft discusses their integration to improve cellular hierarchy, structural fidelity, reproducibility, throughput, scale up and efficiency. https://t.co/ByhWWzF1jY
