Human Organs-on-a-Chip Technology focuses on technology advancement from “organ-on-a-chip”, “multi organs-on-a-chip”, and the newest stage of “human organs-on-a-chip." Chapters investigate the design, simulation studies, device development, and application of microfluidic systems. In addition, they offer expert perspectives on the development of an alternative test system in the biological evaluation of drugs, cosmetics, chemicals, medical devices, and many others. Lastly, the book addresses issues related to the development of microfluidic devices and alternative test systems in biological and biomedical research.

• Explores organs-on-a-chip technology, from the basics, to advanced developments and existing challenges and recent research trends and applications
• Reviews every aspect of microfluidic devices, including biological evaluation and targeted delivery
• Includes the latest information on regulatory updates
