Scientists at the University of North Texas report a breakthrough in building tiny, lab-grown replicas of human organs. These replicas, called organoids, can mimic some functions and structures of ...

A new 3D-printing technique using silicone can make accurate models of the blood vessels in your brain, enabling neurosurgeons to train with more realistic simulations before they operate, according ...

To explore possible treatments for various diseases, either animal models or human cell cultures are usually used first; however, animal models do not always mimic human diseases well, and cultures ...

Over 100,000 individuals in the United States are currently in need of organ transplants. The demand for organs, such as hearts, kidneys, and livers, far exceeds the available supply and people ...

Senior author Professor Anthony Weiss from the Charles Perkins Centre said while others have tried to build blood vessels with various degrees of success before, this is the first time scientists have ...

How can we investigate the effects of a new drug? How can we better understand the interaction between different organs to grasp the systemic response? In biomedical research, so-called ...

Networks adapt over time and in this way form a kind of memory. Researchers show that the structure of blood vascular network is dynamic and can adapt to external factors. In particular, the ...
