Scientists in Germany have combined human cells with artificial tissue to develop a retina-on-a-chip that can be used to test the effects of drugs on humans. The new device, called “retinal prosthesis” or RP-PD, is made from living cells.
Scientists in Germany have combined human cells with artificial tissue to develop a retina-on-a-chip that can be used to test the effects of drugs on humans. The researchers believe the technology can replace the use of animals and retina organoids in the eye disease testing process, which can often yield inaccurate results.
