Potato chips, veggie chips…. organ chips?
—————
In this episode, my friend Reyna joins us to dive into the construction and applications of organ chips (aka organs-on-chips or tissue chips), which are small squares of cells and fluid channels that help researchers study drugs and diseases. And, in space, they can help us understand how and why microgravity affects humans and the aging process.
