Abstract: A stage unit includes a stage that provides a seating surface and has an opening formed through the seating surface, a first support unit disposed below the opening and coupled to the stage, a second support unit disposed below the opening and coupled to the stage, where the second support unit is spaced apart from the first support unit on a plane, and a flatness measurement unit supported by the first support unit. Each of the first support unit and the second support unit provides a support surface that crosses the seating surface, and the support surface of the first support unit and the support surface of the second support unit are movable in a direction toward and away from the opening.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a biomimetic nerve chip for evaluating the efficacy and toxicity of a drug, a method for evaluating the efficacy of a drug on nerve cells through astrocytes by using the biomimetic nerve chip, and a method for evaluating the toxicity of a drug on nerve cells through astrocytes by using the biomimetic nerve chip, the biomimetic nerve chip comprising: an astrocyte supply unit and a nerve cell supply unit for simulating nerve tissue; and a culture solution supply unit for supplying a culture solution to the astrocyte supply unit and the nerve cell supply unit.
