The research appears June 4 in the journal Science Advances. Often no larger than a USB flash drive, organ-on-a-chip (OOC) systems have revolutionized how researchers study the underlying biology of ...

Scientists from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and their collaborators have used human stem cells to develop liver organoids that faithfully replicate key zones observed in human livers ...

The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Different parts of the brain perform a variety of functions, all of ...

The Berlin/Boston-based startup is building vascularised tissue today, with a long-term ambition to manufacture fully ...

Scientists hoping to discover better ways to boost immune function — which could lengthen our healthspan and protect immunocompromised patients — may have a new target, according to findings published ...

Traditional animal models and simplified cell cultures often fail to capture human biology, limiting progress in biomedical research and drug development. Emerging microfluidic "Organ-on-Chip" ...

Never-before-seen 3D reconstructions of human liver tissue have been created at a cellular level. The details obtained by a team of UW Medicine and University of Washington engineers and physicians ...
