Organ-on-a-chip a biochip has been created by researchers at cellasys. Researchers are working towards building a multi-channel 3D microfluidic cell culture system that compartmentalizes microenvironments in which 3D cellular aggregates are cultured to mimic multiple organs in the body. Most organ-on-a-chip models today only culture one cell type, so even though they may be valid models for studying whole organ functions, the systemic effect of a drug on the human body is not verified. In particular, an integrated cell culture analog (µCCA) was developed and included lung cells, drug-metabolizing liver and fat cells. The cells were linked in a 2D fluidic
British Institute of Organ Studies British Institute of Organ Studies The British Institute of Organ Studies, more commonly known by its acronym BIOS, is a British organisation and registered charity which aims to promote study and appreciation of all aspects of the pipe organ. Further, it acts as a lobbying body to raise awareness of organ issues with appropriate statutory bodies. Membership is open to all. The aims of BIOS are BIOS publishes a quarterly Reporter newsletter and magazine and a yearly Journal which contains articles on organ history. BIOS is also responsible for the National Pipe Organ Register (NPOR), which aims to catalogue all
