Human-on-a-chip for Rare Diseases discussion
HUMAN-ON-A-CHIP FOR RARE DISEASES DISCUSSION In our latest publication, UCF & Hesperos researchers discuss how Human-on-a-chip systems can be used to address the unique challenges facing rare diseases. Researchers cite that rare diseases are “limited by the high cost of research and low target population.” Further Discussion of Human-on-a-chip® technology Researchers further discuss how “Human-on-a-chip … Read more
NIH Director Features HESPEROS BODY-ON-A-CHIP DEVICE for predicting CANCER DRUG RESPONSES
Dr. Francis Collins, director of The National Institutes of Health, recently featured Hesperos technology on his blog. In the post, Dr. Collins reviews a published study where Hesperos researchers investigated and treated several cancer lines with existing chemotherapeutics. The study both treated the cancer while reproducing known toxic effects of specific drugs and their more … Read more
