Liver-on-a-Chip

Liver-on-a-chip is a microfluidic device that consists of a complex network of tiny channels and chambers lined with liver cells typically derived from human liver tissue or cell lines to mimic the structure and function of a human liver on a small scale. The cells are cultured in a physiologically relevant environment that closely mimics the conditions of the human liver. The device also contains sensors to monitor cell behavior and function and pumps to simulate blood flow and metabolism within the liver.

What We Can Do for You

Liver-on-a-chip technology is a cutting-edge tool that has a wide range of applications in various fields, including pharmaceutical research, drug development, toxicology testing, and personalized medicine. Because it replicates the complex structure and function of the human liver, it can provide more accurate and predictive data compared to traditional cell culture and animal models. STEMart is able to utilize liver-on-a-chip to provide the following services:

• Drug metabolism studies: Study how drugs are metabolized in the liver, predict potential drug-drug interactions, and assess the toxicity of drug compounds.
• Disease modeling: Model liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer and study the mechanisms underlying these diseases, and screen potential drug candidates for treating them.
• Toxicity testing: Assess the toxic effects of drugs, chemicals, and environmental pollutants on liver function, cell viability, and overall health.
• Drug screening and development: Test the efficacy, toxicity, and bioavailability of drug candidates in a more physiologically relevant environment, potentially reducing the need for animal testing and accelerating the development of new therapies.
• Personalized medicine: Develop personalized medicine approaches tailored to individual patients.
