Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

In biomedical research, so-called organs-on-a-chip, also referred to as microphysiological systems, are becoming increasingly ...

Mapping a human cell gives researchers a view of subcellular architecture and sheds light on how cancer develops.

Model more closely replicates natural environment of the pancreas, which will be essential for studying diabetes and ...

DNase1 is a powerful human enzyme that breaks down free DNA in the body. It plays a critical role in clearing thick mucus in cystic fibrosis patients. For decades, scientists have relied on expensive ...

Researchers have developed the first vascularized organoid model of pancreatic islet cells, which promises to improve ...

Scientists are learning about the human body by building sophisticated computer models of lungs and hearts and other organs. If these models have ten times too many cells as real organs do ...

If DNA bridges persist between chromosomes during cell division, chromosomes are abnormally segregated, leading to genetic ...

Research from Ph.D. candidate Bohan Chen in the lab of Idse Heemskerk of the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at ...

Therefore, there is a need for more physiologically relevant cell models that better mimic what happens in the human body. Three-dimensional models allow researchers to better represent the complex ...

We do not know whether the embryo models recently created from stem cells could give rise to living ... we know much can be gained from studying the human body. We learn much from the bodies ...
