With no end to the shortage of organ donors in sight, scientists have for decades attempted to build organs for transplantation from the ground up. The discovery of embryonic stem cells in 1981 ...

1 But a breakthrough in 2009 saw Dutch researchers coax intestinal stem cells to organize into complex three-dimensional mini organs in a dish. 2 The cells in organoids differentiate into distinct ...

Researchers now use these mini organs across a range ... periods without oxygen. Using stem cells taken from the liver of embryonic, hatchling, and adult painted turtles as well as two other species, ...

Organoids, three-dimensional lab-grown mini organs ... for Stem Cell and Organoid Medicine, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, in the United States, discusses the importance of endocrine cells ...

The technique uses pluripotent stem cells created by genetically reprogramming ... roughly disk shaped mini-kidneys. These three dimensional ‘mini-organs’, contain many of the cell types and ...

Since organs are clusters of large amounts of cells, I focused on engineering individual cells, stem cells, as a first step. What is your approach to creating hypoimmune stem cells? My approach ...

Professor Takanori Takebe of Tokyo Medical and Dental University (Director of Commercial Innovation at Center for Stem Cell ...

Stem cells have been a research focus for more than a decade because they can morph into any type of cell, potentially leading to treatments to replace damaged cells and organs. But along with the ...
