Indian researchers build 'placenta-on-a-chip' device
Researchers in India have successfully engineered a 'placenta-on-a-chip' system that mirrors essential human placental activities. This innovation, a joint effort between the ICMR-National Institute for Research on Women's Health and IIT Bombay, simulates the connection between mother and fetus. This technology holds potential for advancing studies on pregnancy-related issues and medication safety, while also helping to decrease the need for animal-based experiments.
