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.

To explore possible treatments for various diseases, either animal models or human cell cultures are usually used first; ...

Laertis Ikonomou, associate professor of oral biology, is principal investigator of a two-year, $435,167 R21 grant from the ...

In 2017, Ashley Moffett, a reproductive immunologist, walked to the pharmacy near her laboratory at the University of ...

Scientists make organoids such as this by coaxing stem cells to grow in a jelly-like substance and to self-assemble into clumps of tissue. The typically hollow or solid balls of cells don’t look ...

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 ...
