10. Lelievre, S.A., Vidi, P-A., Leary, J.F., Maleki, T., “Disease on a Chip” US Patent 9,969,964 (2018)
(This patent relates to the mimicking of human disease and normal tissue using 3D scaffolds and microfluidic chips collectively called “organ-on-a-chip” technologies to grow new artificial human organs in 3D tissue culture. This allows for the rapid testing of new therapies on human cells rather than in animals thereby accelerating clinical trials).
