What happens in the early days of organ development? How do a small group of cells organize to become a heart, a brain, or a kidney? This critical period of development has long remained the... Read more
Biomedical researchers at KU Leuven have found a new way to study endometrial diseases such as endometriosis and cancer. They were able to grow three-dimensional cell structures from disease... Read more
A robotic approach to mass-producing organoids could accelerate regenerative medicine research and drug discovery An automated system that uses robots has been designed to rapidly produce hu... Read more
Stem Cell Derived Organoids Fill Gap in Modeling Common Ailments Scientists used human pluripotent stem cells to generate human embryonic colons in a laboratory that function much like natur... Read more
Researchers at Indiana University School of Medicine have successfully developed a method to grow inner ear tissue from human stem cells—a finding that could lead to new platforms to model d... Read more
In the latest edition of the professional journal “Science”, Jürgen Knoblich, a leading authority on stem cells and deputy director of the IMBA (Institute for Molecular Biotechnology of the... Read more
The ancient Japanese art of flower arranging was the inspiration for a groundbreaking technique to create tiny “artificial brains” that could be used to develop personalized cancer treatment... Read more
Organoids are miniature organs that can be grown in the lab from a person’s stem cells. They can be used to model diseases, and in the future could be used to test drugs or even replace dama... Read more
Stem-cell biology and gene editing advances offer hope for kidney regeneration, drug discovery Mini-kidney organoids have now been grown in a laboratory by using genome editing to re-create... Read more
Technique Produces ‘Organoids’ Useful in Cancer Research, Drug Screening A UCSF-led team has developed a technique to build tiny models of human tissues, called organoids, more precisely tha... Read more
Three-dimensional cultures (or “organoids”) derived from the tumors of cancer patients closely replicate key properties of the original tumors, reveals a study published May 7 in... Read more
