The study shows that fat tissue, when processed and cultured in a specific way, can self-organize into structures resembling bone marrow, pancreatic islets, and even neural tissue. These organoids ...

For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...

Scientists have generated human stem cell models which contain notochord -- a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, directing cells where to build the spine and nervous ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

A new study suggests that stem cells thought to be dormant may offer clues to why our sense of smell declines or is lost. Using a newly devised, three-dimensional model to study the regeneration of ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...
