University of Missouri researchers are developing new ways to better simulate the complex nature of human brain tissue. For ...

Scientists at the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Biology (ASHBi) at Kyoto University say they used a petri dish and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to learn how the early stages of ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

Wearing blue rubber gloves, Molly Dobrow reached into a metal vat of diluted sodium hydroxide and pulled out two dripping-wet models of human organs: a heart and a set of lungs. Made of Elastico, a ...

UVM Medical Center uses 3D printing to create low-cost medical training models for rural Vermont paramedics and EMTs. These models offer more frequent practice opportunities for crucial, but ...

For decades, animal models have been the gold standard for preclinical testing of potential drugs. Yet, even the best animal models are not perfect. For example, small rodent species with engrafted ...

In a breakthrough for the advanced study of gut health, scientists have developed a 3D microscopic version of the human intestines condensed into a small chip about half the size of a five-cent coin.

For years, scientists have worked to uncover how the brain responds to mechanical forces and electromagnetic waves. Computer ...
