Only a handful of stem cell therapies are currently approved by the F.D.A., mainly for treating blood cancer and immune ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, Dr. Eiji Yoshihara, PhD, investigator at The Lundquist Institute for ...

Thanks to lab-grown miniature intestines, researchers at Uppsala University have successfully mapped how aggressive Shigella bacteria infect the human gut. The study opens the door to using cultured ...

After decades of hype and setbacks, scientists have made impressive progress into tricking stem cells into repairing organs. Stem cells (like the ones above, growing in petri dishes) are able to ...

Scientists are repurposing this once non-essential organ to grow life-saving tissues on demand and from inside the body.

Stanford scientists have solved a key conundrum in keeping organoids — lab-grown clusters of cells that resemble human organs — alive. These mini-brains and mini-hearts mimic human organs and enable ...

The research team introduced organoid technology. Organoids are mini-organs created by culturing stem cells that can grow into all human cells in structures similar to those of organs. Previously ...

Organolds are mini-organs created using stem cells in a three-dimensional structure, which allows for the reproduction of physiological environments similar to human organs by partially simulating ...

The team at the Crick created a new ... (when the embryo's cells organise into layers that will form tissues and organs). They did this by culturing human embryonic stem cells in a series of ...
