Human embryo models capable of synthesizing their own blood have been developed, in an advance that could lead to new ...

A 3D model accurately mimicking the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) in a laboratory environment has been successfully developed by research teams led by Professor Jinah Jang from the Departments of ...

Bioprinting holds the promise of engineering organs on demand. Now, researchers have solved one of the major bottlenecks—how to create the fine networks of blood vessels needed to keep organs alive.

Cerebrovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and stroke remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A common feature of these diseases is vascular stenosis, i.e., the narrowing of ...

For the first time, researchers have grown 3D models of the brain that include a wide variety of cell types from several people 1. These ‘village in a dish’ organoids could help to reveal why the ...

A new study looking at deadly animal African trypanosomiasis has revealed how the parasite Trypanosoma congolense evades the immune system and drives severe disease in livestock. Researchers from the ...
