A new ASTM International standard seeks to coordinate terminology relating to microphysiological systems. The standard, soon to be published as F3570, was developed by ASTM’s committee on medical and surgical materials and devices ( F04 ). Microphysiological system (MPS) models simulate the physiologic activities of organs and organ systems at the microscale, and use of this technology can ease…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kate Chalfin, tel +1.610.832.9717; kchalfin@astm.org Release #11484 ###
