Their first chip was a Lung-on-a-Chip, that actually replicates the movement of human lungs while breathing. So far they have developed chips for the gut, liver, and kidneys and hope to continue developing more to be able to eventually put them together to emulate total human body functions. This will be especially useful to the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries when testing the safety of new products.
