Scientists have created the world's most sophisticated lab model of the human body, developing a full system of miniaturized organs known as "organoids." ...

This lung-on-a-chip serves as an accurate model of human lungs to test for drug safety and efficacy. Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, Harvard University This article was ...

Though their approaches differ, the ultimate goal for most of them is the same—to create a system of connected artificial model organs that can accurately mimic the intricacies of the human body ...

Druing the late 1990s, Linda Griffith was working in the laboratory of Joseph Vacanti, a pioneer in the field of tissue engineering, when she had a revelation. Vacanti, Griffith and their ...

To generate their model, Gomperts and her colleagues took a different approach: They let their iPS cells do what stem cells would normally do in the human body, which is to produce a range of cell ...

The new device could help researchers see how different types of tissue respond to drugs without using lab animals. Back story: Current organ-on-a chip systems place different kinds of human cells ...

During the past ten years, scientists who study how the human body develops and functions on the most basic level have enjoyed a renaissance of sorts, thanks to structures called organoids–tiny ...

An iPSC-based ALS-on-a-chip model that mimics disease progression and reveals altered glutamate signaling in motor neurons was developed.

J. Calvin Coffey holds up a model of the mesentery Alan Place/University of Limerick There are 78 different organs in the human body—but there may actually be 79, reports Tom Embury-Dennis at ...

Researchers are using organoids to unlock one of the human body’s most mysterious—and miraculous—processes. In the center of the laboratory dish, there was a subtle white film that could ...
