The development could help scientists develop patient-specific treatments and one day offer a lab-grown lung transplant option.

Lung diseases like tuberculosis and cystic fibrosis can be difficult to treat. In part, that's because the two-dimensional models researchers use to study the diseases don't accurately reflect the ...

Researchers have developed a 3D-printed lung tissue model that could help scientists better study and treat diseases.

Developing cardiac inflammatory organoid models incorporating multiple cell lineages is vital for novel therapies.

At FinalSpark, a company co-founded by software engineer Dr. Fred Jordan, researchers are creating what they call “wetware”—a ...

Researchers have developed brain-on-a-chip technology that uses human tissue to model how the brain’s protective barrier breaks down during inflammation and disease.

Insects that tuck away wings; a protist with an accordion-like neck — studying these clever creases may inspire foldable structures for drones ...

Cancer treatments don't always work as expected, leaving patients to suffer side effects of chemotherapy without gaining benefits. Now scientists are exploring whether tiny proxy organs made in the ...

Introducing premature visual experience by opening the closed eyelids early in ferrets caused many cells in the primary visual cortex to mature improperly.

New findings show Telomir-1 shuts down cellular energy pathways and mitochondrial function in aggressive breast cancer cells, leading to cell death through iron-dependent regulation. MIAMI, FL / ...

Engineers are turning to animal origami, from insects that tuck away wings to a protist with an accordion-like neck, for ...

Scientists discovered a key molecular switch to keep neurons healthy by controlling the disassembly and assembly of their energy-generating powerhouses, the mitochondria. The study illustrates how a ...
