Lattice connects eight miniaturized human organs to unlock disease secrets

Tiny chip mimics human disease for faster and precise drug discovery

02-Oct-2023

Key points from article :

New device called Lattice simulates human diseases in multiple organs on a chip.

It uses human organ tissue cultures to analyze interactions during diseases.

Allows to see how diseases affect different organs simultaneously.

Scientists can control which organ tissue is exposed to drugs or diseases.

This allows for a more precise understanding of how diseases develop.

Lattice could be used to test drugs before human trials to study profile, risk factors and long-term effects.

The user-friendly design allows researchers to easily use Lattice in their labs.

Research by Northwestern University, published in the journal Lab on a Chip.
