Understanding the inner workings of the human body and its various complex organs is a continuing effort for scientists. Medical experts are deploying various types of emerging technologies to deepen their understanding of organs. 

Organ-on-a-chip (OOC) technologies have been allowing researchers to test the impact of chemicals on human tissue for specific objectives. Tissues placed on a chip can be made to mimic specific organs. These tissues are then subjected to various situations to test their reaction and response. 

A critical application of organ-on-a-chip is to test new medicines on the chip to reduce the dependence on animal testing. Organ-on-a-chip systems can
