Miniature organs have a new lifeline. Mimicking the way early human embryos grow blood vessels, scientists nudged multiple types of mini organs to sprout their own vascular networks. Also called ...

The models can be used to plan surgeries and in the future could be used to help trial new drugs. A healthy heart beats at a steady rate, between 60 and 100 times a minute. That’s not the case for all ...

Your anatomy operates like a machine, it's success hinging on the work of over 70 organs, each with a unique function. From the heart's blood-pumping ability to the liver's filtering power, each ...

Surgeons and doctors often rely on artificial models to practice delicate procedures. Yet most training tissues feel stiff, simple, and far from realistic. That gap between training models and real ...

The future of life-saving treatments may be just a chip off the ‘ole blood sample. Scientists at Columbia University have created a set of real — and really tiny — human organs that interact on a chip ...

From interactive diagrams to A.I. assistants, virtual tools are beginning to supplant physical dissections in some classrooms ...

Scientists have discovered a method of helping human stem cells thrive in an animal embryo—a key development in efforts to ...

But will these “bodyoids” ever be ethically acceptable? This week, MIT Technology Review published a piece on bodyoids—living bodies that cannot think or feel pain. In the piece, a trio of experts ...

The quest to grow functional human organs in animal hosts has made significant strides, marking a revolutionary leap in regenerative medicine and transplantation. This groundbreaking research offers ...
