It is well-known that in the medical field, 3D printing technology has unlimited potential. People can use 3D printing technology to customize tools and medical devices, and even customize organs and prostheses to patients according to their needs, thus saving thousands of lives without using Wait for the limited donor and matching organ. As early as February this year, medical 3D printing field has made a more outstanding breakthrough, scientists not only successfully implanting 3D printed tissues and organs into animals, but also for the production of a cancer patient a new 3D print jaw .

But recently, researchers at Harvard University said they made the first "organ chip" printed using 3D printing technology and equipped them with integrated sensors to make scientists more convenient, time-saving and accurate To test the mechanism of human tissue, function, no longer have to insert the chip into the laboratory animal to test, very efficient.

In the scientific community, another name for the 3D printed "organ chip" is the "micro-physiological system" (MPS). The MPS can be seen as a synthetic alternative to human organs and organs. It not only tests heart and liver performance, You can also test the skeleton, cartilage, vascular system and other tissues. Harvard researchers, however, have integrated sensors onto the MPS to create the 3D printed "organ chip" that reads organ, tissue, and human anatomy without intruding on the anatomy of the human body.

Integrated sensors on 3D printed "organ chips" also allow researchers and scientists to eliminate the need for intensive, cumbersome data collection. To demonstrate the efficacy of this 3D printing device, the Harvard research team, in their paper published in Nature, said researchers used it for research such as drug reactions and stem cell-derived heart tissue The development of the research process and the results are very smooth. They said they hope to promote this 3D printed "organ chip" to the scientific community so that scientists and researchers can enjoy the convenience and contribution brought by this innovative 3D printing device for experiments and research. They also hope that more Many people recognize the importance of 3D printing technology.
