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, ...

Organoids are three-dimensional, miniaturized, and simplified versions of organs produced in vitro from stem cells or organ-specific progenitor cells. They recapitulate key structural and functional ...

This infographic summarizes key aspects of the proposed methodology for producing liver organoids. The liver organoids developed in this study aid in improving hemophilia A by secreting the essential ...

A recent study published in Engineering has unveiled a novel approach to generating functional organoids from human adult adipose tissue. This method, which bypasses traditional stem cell isolation ...

Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive disorders, including autism. But ethical questions loom. Brain organoids, which ...

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 ...

One characteristic oncologists use to describe tumors is how “aggressive” they become. This term suggests a tumor forms, grows, or spreads quickly. Unfortunately, more aggressive tumors typically have ...
