New Technique Allows Scientists to 'Listen in' on Cancer Cells
Understanding how cells communicate could reveal how tumors are able to evade the immune system and become resistant to treatments
Human Gut-In-A-Dish Model Helps Define 'Leaky Gut'
3D human gut organoids reveal molecular system that keeps intestinal linings sealed, demonstrate how the system breaks down and how it can be strengthened with the diabetes drug metformin
Researchers Create Functional Mini-Liver by 3D Bioprinting
Technique developed at Human Genome and Stem Cell Research Center, funded by FAPESP and hosted by the University of São Paulo, produced hepatic tissue in the laboratory in only 90 days and could become an alternative to organ transplantation in future
Microplate Technology Options for Organoids
Picking the best microplate for growing organoids often includes some personal preference
CNIO Uses Organoid Technology and Single-Cell Sequencing to Advance the Study of Bladder Cancer
Research group's work will usher in a new era in the study of diseases of the urinary system
Machine Learning Algorithm Can't Distinguish These Lab Mini-Brains from Preemie Babies
Nine-month-old brains-in-a-dish and the brains of premature newborn babies generate similar electrical patterns, as captured by electroencephalogram (EEG)—the first time such brain activity has been achieved in a cell-based laboratory model
Mini Kidneys Grown from Stem Cells Give New Insights into Kidney Disease and Therapies
Existing approaches to testing potential treatments through drug screening do not take account of the fact that the genetic errors that cause kidney diseases vary from patient to patient
Researchers Grow Active Mini-Brain-Networks
Although the organoids aren't actually "thinking," the researchers' new tool--which detects neural activity using organoids--could provide a method for understanding human brain function
Growing Embryonic Tissues on a Chip
When it comes to modeling the early developmental processes of the human embryo, things become complicated
