Patient-specific "organ-on-chip" aims to accelerate research on cholangiocarcinoma

It is only a few centimeters in size and can be held between two fingers, but in the micro-channels carved inside it, it's hidden a three-dimensional and highly faithful model of a biliary tract cancer called cholangiocarcinoma, complete with its tumor microenvironment.
