Unlike accidental cell death, some cells can actively decide to die through a controlled process. This is called programmed ...

Synthetic organizers provide a way to control formation of kidney organoids as more reliable models for studying disease and ...

Image of pancreatic organoids under a microscope with immunofluorescent staining. While growing organoids from highly proliferative tissues, such as the stomach and liver, is relatively easy, ...

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most common form of muscular dystrophy, characterized by progressive muscle wasting and weakness and caused by abnormally repetitive DNA segments that are ...

A team of engineers and neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals' cortex and responded ...

Engineers have developed a new way to monitor how tiny lab-grown human heart tissues beat—by effectively "listening" to the ...

Researchers at the University of Southern California have developed highly complex human synthetic kidney organoids that ...

An international team, including the University of Tokyo, has created a sensor inspired by the lateral line in fish - their ...

Using brain organoids, researchers discover mutational commonalities between muscular dystrophy type 1 and Rett syndrome, suggesting the potential of a similar treatment for both. Myotonic dystrophy ...
