Say hello to THE KIDNEY ON A CHIP.

An organ on a chip is an advanced microfluidics-based cell culture platform that mimics organ physiology. And this technology has been utilized to make glomeruli and tubules to be used for drug screening, disease modeling, and so on.

The 3D bioprinting technology has helped in overcoming the vascularization barrier.

Type Bioart Kidn

There are potential applications in nephrotoxicity assessment and therapeutic development. In the future, we have to combine these two models to make a functioning nephron with both filtration and reabsorption.

> microfluidics - study of the behavior of fluids in micro-channels

> vascularization - the formation of vessels
