Scientists have developed 3D mini-organs from human fetal brain tissue that self-organize in vitro. These lab-grown organoids open up a brand-new way of studying how the brain develops. They also ...

Using microfabrication, tissue engineering, and optogenetic techniques, scientists from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and colleagues at other institutions have successfully developed ...

SINGAPORE -- Scientists in Singapore claim to have successfully grown functioning midbrain tissue -- a feat that may bring researchers a step closer to finding a cure for brain diseases like Parkinson ...

Researchers have developed a technique to build tiny models of human tissues using a process that turns human cells into a biological equivalent of LEGO bricks. These mini-tissues in a dish can be ...

It’s not often that a twitching, snowman-shaped blob of 3D human tissue makes someone’s day. But when Dr. Sergiu Pasca at Stanford University witnessed the tiny movement, he knew his lab had achieved ...

An image of a whole human fetal brain organoid. Stem cells are marked by SOX2 (grey) and neuronal cells (TUJ1) are color coded from pink to yellow based on depth. Scientists have developed 3D ...

It is often said that the most disruptive and world-shaping ideas don’t come from a bolt of insight but are, instead, the response to a rejection. The emerging field of tissue engineering followed ...
