Each of our bodies is utterly unique, which is a lovely thought until it comes to treating an illness -- when every body reacts differently, often unpredictably, to standard treatment. Tissue engineer Nina Tandon talks about a possible solution: Using pluripotent stem cells to make personalized models of organs on which to test new drugs and treatments, and storing them on computer chips. (Call it extremely personalized medicine.)

Nina Tandon: Could tissue engineering mean personalized medicine?

Could tissue engineering mean personalized medicine?

Harnessing induced pluripotent stem cells, scientists craft organs for personalized drug testing, revolutionizing treatment.

Innovative tissue-engineering creates models of human diseases in the lab, accelerating drug discovery and understanding.

Future drug screenings may utilize multi-organ chips, mimicking the body's ecosystem, for safer, more effective medicines.
