Until now, conventional 3D cell cultures have often been either too rigid or too unstable to realistically reproduce the complex interactions between brain cells. Researchers at Kiel University (CAU) ...

A team led by Professor Inkyung Jung from the Department of Biological Sciences at KAIST, working with Professor Yarui Diao’s ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

It’s far less gross than it sounds (we promise) and could have major implications for how we understand anatomy and disease ...

Assembloids: A Versatile Platform for Human Tissue Modeling. This schematic illustrates the classification of assembloids based on four key assembly strategies—multi-region, multi-lineage, ...

Advancing neurological disorder research requires model systems that more accurately reflect the human brain. 3D cell cultures, such as organoids and spheroids, have emerged as game-changers by better ...

We’ve come a long way from the Vacanti mouse. Back in the mid-90s, Charles Vacanti and other researchers experimented with cartilage regeneration and, with the help of a biodegradable mold and bovine ...

An illustration of multicolored tangle of threads within a small black sphere. A 3D illustration shows DNA packaged into the nucleus, scientists with the 4D Nucleome project are now building accurate ...

Miniature organs grown in the lab can organize themselves into complex shapes, which enables scientists to use them to study disease. The trouble is they never do it the same way twice, which has made ...

Hair may grow in a completely different way than scientists once believed. Instead of being pushed out from the root, new ...
