Mini monitor measures artificial heartbeat

Researchers have developed a biomechanical well plate sensor inspired by the lateral line in fish to monitor the heartbeats of lab-grown cardiac organoids. This device offers a more precise and scalable method for drug screening and personalized medicine compared to traditional 2D cell cultures.
Why it matters
Advancements in organoid monitoring technology significantly accelerate the development of new treatments and reduce the reliance on animal testing.
