Northwestern University scientists have developed the most advanced organoid model for human spinal cord injury to date. In a new study, the research team used lab-grown human spinal cord ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Organoids are 3D cell cultures derived from pluripotent stem cells that mimic the structure, function, and cellular complexity of human ...

Tongue cancer (TC) cells can enter a chemo-resistant state by activating pathways related to autophagy and cholesterol synthesis, report researchers. Using a large-scale library of TC organoids they ...

Pea-sized brains grown in a lab have for the first time revealed the unique way neurons might misfire due to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, psychiatric ailments that affect millions of people ...

Diagnostic imaging and genetic screens help clinicians catch congenital fetal diseases in utero, but models for studying organ development and disease progression are limited. Over the last decade, ...

Indiana University researchers are advancing the fight against Alzheimer’s disease using brain organoids, cutting-edge ...

Research on conditions like autism, schizophrenia and even brain cancer increasingly relies on clusters of human cells called brain organoids. These pea-size bits of neural tissue model aspects of ...

Our cells are continually being exposed to environmental assaults. For instance, skin is exposed to pollutants and UV radiation. Our lungs are subject to environmental stimuli such as smoke ...

Organoids exhibit various structural and functional characteristics of their in vivo counterpart organs and have led to many new cancer models. According to a report by The Insight Partners, the ...

Every year, more than 100 million animals are used globally in biomedical research, yet over 90% of drugs that appear effective in animal trials fail during human clinical testing. 1 This staggering ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self. Research on ...
