The study describes a serum-free 4-organ system consisting of human heart, liver, skeletal muscle and nervous system that maintain cellular viability and function over 28 days. Noninvasive electrical evaluation can be performed for neurons and cardiac cells and mechanical determination for cardiac and skeletal cells. The system offers an alternative to the repeat dose toxicity animal tests and for the monitoring of multiorgan function upon long-term chemical exposure.
