This is the retina-on-a-chip technology (credit: Fraunhofer IGB). 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.
