Could tissue chips succeed where animal testing falls short?

Researchers from the University of Rochester's TraCe-bMPS have developed tissue chips that can predict dangerous immune reactions to cancer therapies. The technology, which uses human cells and sensors, has been accepted into the FDA's Innovative Science and Technology Approaches for New Drugs pilot program.

The little things matter: Chemists develop new sensor for microvolume pH detection

Researchers at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University have developed a sensitive and robust pH sensor that can detect pH variation in just a few microliters of samples. The new sensor uses novel materials and methods to overcome the current method's limitations, which are not sensitive enough or fragile for commercial-scale use.
