This is apparently different from the lab-on-a-chip research which seems to seek to miniaturize organs into a microfluidic environment. I'm not actually sure if they are using organ cells on a scaffold or if they can discard the scaffold for microfluidics and cells alone even after reading a few papers on the subject. Personally I think living 2D animals in a petri dish would be metal as fuck.
