3D cell culture provides researchers with an unprecedented view of human tissue and organ development, reliably mimicking the intricacy and functionality at cellular and tissue levels. To better ...

Organs often have fluid-filled spaces called lumens, which are crucial for organ function and serve as transport and delivery ...

Organoids are three-dimensional, miniaturized, and simplified versions of organs produced in vitro from stem cells or organ-specific progenitor cells. They recapitulate key structural and functional ...

Thanks to a new technology called Moscot ("Multi-Omics Single-Cell Optimal Transport"), researchers can now observe millions of cells simultaneously as they develop into a new organ-for example, a ...

A lot happens in the first month of human embryo development as a single cell morphs into multitudes. Yet despite its significance, this period is basically a “black box” to researchers, says stem ...

Surprising pattern: The genetic programmes responsible for the development of sex-specific organ characteristics in mammals are turned on almost exclusively late in the development of the organs, in ...

A new study looks at the physical forces that help shape developing organs. Scientists in the past believed that the fast-acting biochemistry of genes and proteins is responsible for directing this ...

A surprising finding from researchers in Japan has shown how an environmental factor can influence the development of sex organs in unborn mice. The discovery challenges the longstanding belief that ...

Cancer begins with uncontrolled cell growth damaging organs. Six cancers, including lung, breast, and colorectal, lead global ...
