Human embryo models capable of synthesizing their own blood have been developed, in an advance that could lead to new treatments for blood disorders as well as the production of stem cells for ...

MIT scientists have developed a new 3D human brain tissue model that could change how researchers study neurological diseases. The platform, called Multicellular Integrated Brains or miBrains, ...

Bioprinting holds the promise of engineering organs on demand. Now, researchers have solved one of the major bottlenecks—how to create the fine networks of blood vessels needed to keep organs alive.

To work toward getting around this issue, researchers used parabolic flights to simulate microgravity conditions, then 3D ...

Cerebrovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and stroke remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A common feature of these diseases is vascular stenosis, i.e., the narrowing of ...

For the first time, researchers have grown 3D models of the brain that include a wide variety of cell types from several people 1. These ‘village in a dish’ organoids could help to reveal why the ...

File this under unexpectedly cool: organs you don’t harvest, but instead print using an honest-to-goodness printer, just as you might words on paper, except in this case, the “words” are actual stem ...
