Abstract
A polymeric chip having at least one three-dimensional porous scaffold, a microfluidic channel inlet to the porous scaffold, and a microfluidic channel outlet from the porous scaffold. In one embodiment, the polymeric chip has two three-dimensional porous scaffolds: one scaffold comprises liver cells and the other scaffold comprises cancer cells. The chip can be used as a multi-organ tissue model system.
