Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Organoids can replicate each component of the human heart, from its chambers to its veins. Yonatan R. Lewis-Israeli et al. 2021/Nature Communications, CC BY-SA How did your heart form? What triggered ...

Miniature organs have a new lifeline. Mimicking the way early human embryos grow blood vessels, scientists nudged multiple types of mini organs to sprout their own vascular networks. Also called ...

Michigan State University researchers have developed miniature hearts from human stem cells that could advance treatment for ...

Brain organoids have come a long way. These mini-brains, at most the size of a pea, are made from stem cells or reprogrammed skin cells and churned inside a bioreactor full of nutrients. With ...

Mini human brains, grown from stem cells and implanted into living mice, have for the first time been shown to respond to things the mice were seeing. Scientists were able to watch the responses in ...

Cardiovascular-related disorders are a significant global health problem. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in developed countries, accounting for a third of the mortality ...

Researchers have developed miniature 3D human colons enriched with immune cells, showcasing potential advancements in addressing conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and cancer. The ...

This rat received a transplanted lab-grown miniature liver. [Alejandro Soto-Gutierrez] Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have created functional mini livers that contain ...

Researchers have used cutting edge technology to bioprint miniature human kidneys in the lab, paving the way for new treatments for kidney failure and possibly lab-grown transplants. The study, led by ...

Your gut has an obvious job: It processes the food you eat. But it has another important function: It protects you from the bacteria, viruses, or allergens you ingest along with that food. “The ...
