Question

Recently, tissue chips or organs-on-chips were seen in the news. These tissue chips are made up of which material?
Plastic
Steel
Carbon fibre
Silicon
None of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

Plastic

Explanation:

Each Organ Chip is composed of a clear flexible polymer about the size of a computer memory stick that contains hollow microfluidic channels lined by living human organ-specific cells interfaced with a human endothelial cell-lined artificial vasculature, and mechanical forces can be applied to mimic the physical microenvironment of living organs, including breathing motions in lung and peristalsis-like deformations in the intestine.
