By combining tissue engineering techniques with microfluidics, the field is actually evolving towards just that, a model of the entire ecosystem of the body, complete with multiple organ systems to be able to test how a drug you might take for your blood pressure might affect your liver or an antidepressant might affect your heart.
Combinando a enxeñería de tecidos coa microfluídica, o campo evoluciona a un modelo completo do corpo, con múltiples sistemas de órganos,  onde comprobar como un fármaco para a presión sanguínea lle afecta ó fígado,  ou un antidepresivo ó corazón.
