Wyss Institute's Organ Chips get smart and go electric

(Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard) Don Ingber's team at the Wyss Institute has collaborated with Wyss Core Faculty member Kit Parker and his group to bring new solutions to chip design by fitting Organ Chips with embedded electrodes that enable accurate and continuous monitoring of trans-epithelial electrical resistance (TEER), a broadly used measure of tissue health and differentiation, and real-time assessment of electrical activity of living cells, as demonstrat
