Microphysiological multi-organ devices are designed to mimic the physiological interaction of various interconnected organ models, by successfully imitating organismal functionality and response to substances. The first concepts of in vitro multi-organ systems were put forward in the late 1980s, demonstrating that such systems could provide mechanistic insight into toxicology questions. In 2010, governmental grants and initiatives in Europe and the United States strongly accelerated the development of microphysiological systems. The rapid increase in the number of laboratories and spin-off companies working on these devices, and the commitment of big pharma and cosmetics companies, has led to the generation of a diversity of systems for various applications. In conjunction with regulatory science-driven efforts, high-quality data derived from these devices laid the foundation for later qualification studies. Further advancements to include more organs and functionalities lead the way toward systemic micro-organisms on a chip e so-called body-on-achip devices. These systems will eventually establish a completely new substance testing paradigm.
