Abstract Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity, and metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are epidemiologically correlated disorders with a worldwide growing prevalence. While the mechanisms leading to onset development of these conditions not fully understood, predictive tissue representations for studying coordinated interactions between central organs that regulate energy metabolism, particularly pancreatic islets, needed. Here, dual pump‐less recirculating organ‐on‐chip platform combines human pluripotent stem cell (sc)‐derived sc‐liver sc‐islet organoids is presented. The reproduces key aspects cross‐talk both organs, including glucose levels selected hormones, supports viability functionality while preserving reduced release pro‐inflammatory cytokines. In model disruption in response treatment high lipids fructose, exhibit hallmarks steatosis insulin resistance, sc‐islets produce cytokines on‐chip. Finally, known effects anti‐diabetic drugs Taken together, provides basis functional studies T2DM, MASLD on‐chip, as well testing potential therapeutic interventions.
