Researchers from Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) and the Leiden-based biotech company Ncardia have joined forces to ...

Lung cancer varies widely from patient to patient, and that diversity makes it hard to find effective treatments. Researchers ...

For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...

Scientists engineered the first fully synthetic brain tissue model. It’s fully functional brain tissue that they can use to test neurological drugs. They believe the discovery will lead them to better ...

Artificially constructed human tissues and organs have been developed with a number of different purposes in mind, from advanced robotics and novel materials to drug screening. The precision demanded ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

As part of the first-in-human trial, participants received more than 15 times the standard dose of the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin every 21 days for up to one year. “Usually, a patient can only ...

Cancer-killing T cells have been programmed to have two levels of specificity. First, the T cells have been equipped with a receptor sensitive to a protein that is found only in central nervous system ...

One of the challenges of fighting pancreatic cancer is finding ways to penetrate the organ's dense tissue to define the margins between malignant and normal tissue. A new study uses DNA origami ...
