A tiny clump of lab-grown human brain cells, no bigger than a lentil, sent nerve fibers into a slice of spinal cord tissue ...

More than 100,000 Americans are waiting for a kidney transplant, and most will wait years. A study published in May 2026 in npj Biomedical Innovations, a peer-reviewed Nature Portfolio journal, offers ...

Cambridge researchers created miniature brain-and-spinal-cord systems in the lab that can send signals and even trigger tiny ...

Many promising therapies fail because preclinical models do not fully capture the complexity of the human heart. A new review ...

Thanks to lab-grown miniature intestines, researchers at Uppsala University have successfully mapped how aggressive Shigella bacteria infect the human gut. The study opens the door to using cultured ...

A research lab at the University of Caen Normandy (France) has succeeded in making cartilage using decellularized apples. The Bioconnect laboratory at the university, which I head, has just published ...

This is the longest-lived set of developing kidney organoids derived from tissue stem cells The kidney developed over a half a year, enabling real-time observation, gene isolation for birth defects ...

Spinal cord injuries cause permanent paralysis in part because inflammation, cell death, and glial scarring block nerve regeneration, and there has been no reliable human tissue model to test ...

Paterna Biosciences says it has determined the set of instructions needed to turn sperm-making stem cells into "normal, mature" sperm.

A cutting-edge laboratory technique that turns human stem cells into brain-like tissue now recapitulates human brain development more accurately than ever, according to a new study from Case Western ...

Tal Sharf (right, senior author), Tjiste van der Molen (middle, postdoctoral researcher), and Greg Kaurala (left, staff researcher). Humans have long wondered when and how we begin to form thoughts.

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been created. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown muscle tissue bundled into sushilike rolls to give the fingers enough ...
