Global Technology – November 2018

Now, let’s examine the most important technological and scientific breakthroughs emerging from labs around the world.

A new biosensor allows researchers to track oxygen levels in real time in ‘organ-on-a-chip’ systems.  This makes it possible to ensure that such systems more closely mimic the functions of real organs.  This is essential if organs-on-a-chip are to achieve their potential in applications such as drug and toxicity testing.

The organ-on-a-chip concept has garnered significant attention from researchers for about a d.....
