Miniature organs have a new lifeline. Mimicking the way early human embryos grow blood vessels, scientists nudged multiple types of mini organs to sprout their own vascular networks. Also called ...

Researchers have developed miniature 3D human colons enriched with immune cells, showcasing potential advancements in addressing conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and cancer. The ...

Your gut has an obvious job: It processes the food you eat. But it has another important function: It protects you from the bacteria, viruses, or allergens you ingest along with that food. “The ...

Brain organoids have come a long way. These mini-brains, at most the size of a pea, are made from stem cells or reprogrammed skin cells and churned inside a bioreactor full of nutrients. With ...

In an exciting scientific breakthrough, researchers at Johns Hopkins University have grown a miniature human brain in the lab. This tiny brain is called a multi-region brain organoid (MRBO). It mimics ...

The process for the joint 3D Organoids in Space project originated from the University of Zurich (UZH) researchers Oliver Ullrich and Cora Thiel. Together with Airbus, the two pioneers in research on ...

Organovo’s 3D-printed mini-liver just shattered its own record, carrying out the same cellular functions as a natural human liver for 40 days in the lab. That may not seem like a lot — human liver ...

How did your heart form? What triggered your first heartbeat? To this day, the mechanisms of human heart development remain elusive. Researchers know the heart is the first organ to fully function in ...
