New Organ-On-A-Chip Finds Crucial Interaction Between Blood, Ovarian Cancer Tumors Researchers at Texas A&M University are pushing organ-on-a-chip devices to new levels that could change the way clinicians approach cancer treatment, particularly ovarian cancer. A team has recently submitted a patent disclosure with the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station. The research team, led by Abhishek Jain, an assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering with a joint appointment in the College of Medicine, has created a device that focuses on platelets, tiny blood cells that help the body form clots to stop bleeding. The ovarian tumor microenivornment-chip (OTME-Chip) is about the size of a USB and models the properties of a tumor in the lab. Researchers can use the microdevice to recreate events within platelets circulating in the blood as they approach the tumor and make it more potent and metastatic.
