Pancreas on a chip : State of the Art

[vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]

Why a pancreas on a chip?

The pancreas is an annex gland of the digestive system. It has both endocrine and exocrine functionality. Its exocrine function consists of the secretion of digestive fluids containing enzyme facilitating the digestion of fatty acids. Its endocrine function is based on hormone secretion that regulates glycemia (insulin, glucagon). Pancreas cancer is generally associated with bad prognostic, thus there a real need for new therapies.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
