Organ-on-a Chip is a an promising tool to study various chronic disease such as cancer and autoimmune disorder

Image
  An Organ-on-a Chip , also known as an organ-on-board, is a fully mobile multi-chambered 3-dimensional microfluidic tissue chip that mimics the internal processes, motions, and biological response of almost all organ systems and whole organs, a kind of living artificial organ. It constitutes the subject matter of major ongoing biomedical research, more especially in bio-MRI. It has also been used to study different pathological and medical diseases like cancer, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, sepsis, trauma, neurological disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, herpes, genital herpes, leukemia, and many others. Organ-on-a Chip is considered to be a tissue microcosm of the human body; it is the miniature version of a mouse or a rat brain and can be compared to a mini-brain. Its main function is as a template for generating living cells, but it can also be used as a drug screening and pre-cancer staging system. It is considered that once such a device is built ...

The Outbreak of COVID-19 (Pandemic) to Augment Growth of the Biochips Market

  Biochips is a miniaturized medical device used in molecular laboratories to carry out several biochemical reactions simultaneously. The device contains millions of biosensors. It is highly efficient and has gained significant popularity in the biochemical field. Biochips are used to detect and quantify molecular complexes. Biochips find applications in areas such as diagnosis of cancer, respiratory diseases, infectious diseases, and for personalized treatment. Thus, with the increasing prevalence of cancer, respiratory diseases, and infectious diseases, the demand for biochips is also increasing with a rapid pace. According to the National Cancer Institute, in 2018, there were 18.1 million new cases and 9.5 million cancer-related deaths worldwide. By 2040, the number of new cancer cases per year is expected to rise to 29.5 million and the number of cancer-related deaths to 16.4 million. Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Thus, increasing preva...

Microfluidic Demand Has Increased With Increasing Incidence of Chronic Diseases

  Microfluidic technology describes the controlled behavior, precise timing, and manipulation of geometrically bounded fluids to a tiny level where surface forces normally dominate. It is a multidisciplinary technique that features biotechnology, nanotechnology, biochemistry, chemistry, physics, and engineering. A probe is injected into this sample, which then falls outside the liquid, through the sample area into an evaporator coil, falls back in the tank of liquid, and drops into the collector. This can be a rather complicated set-up but it's a great illustration of how such systems work. Microfluidic has practical applications in the look of systems that process low volumes of fluids to accomplish high-throughput screening, automation, and multiplexing. Microfluidic is found in the development of micro-thermal technologies, micro-propulsion, lab-on-a-chip technology, DNA chips, and inkjet printheads. Microfluidic is a technique that relates to the flow of liquid ...
