Scientists at Bambino Gesu Children’s Hospital in Rome have grown three-dimensional tumor models from pediatric brain cancer ...

Scientists increasingly leverage organoid systems to study neuronal signaling and disease mechanisms, but the complexity of generating and analyzing mature neural tissues manually presents practical ...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons, which leads to nigrostriatal impairment. Although induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC ...

"For years, we've spoken with researchers around the world who struggle to find the right culture vessel for 3D organoid workflows—one that can prevent hydrogel floating, allow live-cell tracking, ...

This article explores innovations helping organoids reach their enormous potential. From vascularized tissues to fused ...

Johns Hopkins University researchers have grown a novel whole-brain organoid, complete with neural tissues and rudimentary blood vessels—an advance that could usher in a new era of research into ...

Neural organoids derived from patient-specific iPSC lines can help open doors toward studying human brain development, physiology, and disease progression. The increased cell-cell interactions in ...

Our cells are continually being exposed to environmental assaults. For instance, skin is exposed to pollutants and UV radiation. Our lungs are subject to environmental stimuli such as smoke ...

Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...
