From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development—including the production ...

Researchers have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four weeks after fertilization. This is ...

Scientists from Uppsala University and several other research institutions have created a personalized human liver model that can significantly improve the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as ...

Liver disease is a major global health problem, causing over two million deaths worldwide each year. While animal models have ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...

New research has mapped the cell types that specialize to form reproductive organs in both sexes, identifying key genes and ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...
