Organoids can replicate each component of the human heart, from its chambers to its veins. Yonatan R. Lewis-Israeli et al. 2021/Nature Communications, CC BY-SA How did your heart form? What triggered ...

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 ...

Cardiovascular-related disorders are a significant global health problem. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in developed countries, accounting for a third of the mortality ...

Researchers have been growing mini human brains and other organs from stem cells for years, trying to find ways to implant them and see responses to things like sight, smell, and touch. Now, in a ...

Though an estimated 60 million people around the world have atrial fibrillation, or A-fib, a type of irregular and often fast heartbeat, it's been at least 30 years since any new treatments have been ...

Scientists from Kyoto University in Japan cautioned about unethical -- and potentially dangerous -- unforeseen situations that could arise from implanting stem cells known as brain "organoids." iStock ...

This rat received a transplanted lab-grown miniature liver. [Alejandro Soto-Gutierrez] Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have created functional mini livers that contain ...

The cutting-edge method of growing clusters of cells that organize themselves into mini versions of human brains in the lab is gathering more and more attention. These "brain organoids," made from ...

The first complete living model of the developing human brain has been created in a lab dish. Researchers grew human stem cells in an environment that encouraged them to form pea-size gobs of brain ...

Researchers have used cutting edge technology to bioprint miniature human kidneys in the lab, paving the way for new treatments for kidney failure and possibly lab-grown transplants. The study, led by ...

An infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) typically affects infants much harder than adults. While adults usually experience RSV as a mild cold, infants can develop more severe conditions, ...

I'm huge fan of dogs who resemble distinct figures or have features similar to humans because they feel like little people already. Every now and then, one perfect pooch comes along whose look is ...
