Never-before-seen 3D reconstructions of human liver tissue have been created at a cellular level. The details obtained by a team of UW Medicine and University of Washington engineers and physicians ...

Neurites include axons, which are often severed during spinal cord injuries. When axons are cut, communication between neurons is disrupted, leading to paralysis and loss of sensation below the injury ...

Researchers at EPFL, Heidelberg University and Roche have built a human mini-bladder to show how urine composition weakens ...

Scientists with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have created an engineered model of the supportive tissue found within a lymph node to study human health. Working with scientists at ...

The company AnthroTek uses resin 3D printing and fused depostion modeling to reproduce ultra-realistic masks and organs.

A stem-cell-based "organ-on-a-chip" model of ALS mimics early biological changes seen in the degenerative disease.

Scientists have taken a major step toward treating spinal cord injuries that cause paralysis. In lab dishes, researchers at Northwestern University grew tiny organoids of the human spinal cord. Then, ...

Neurofibrillary tangles mark Alzheimer’s disease and a plethora of primary tauopathies. How best to study them in the lab? Most mouse tauopathy models overexpress the human tau protein and are highly ...

Human metabolism is regulated by internal clocks, the so-called circadian rhythms. Many processes, such as sugar uptake, fat ...
