Recreating functional vascular networks is foundational to both basic and translational vascular biology, however current methods to make blood vessels from stem cells are often slow, inefficient ...

Researchers have developed mice with organs containing human cells, using a convenient and surprising approach — injecting the cells directly into the amniotic fluid of pregnant mice. The method ...

Microglia are a specialized type of immune cell that accounts for about 10% of all cells within the brain and spinal cord. They function by eliminating infectious microbes, dead cells, and ...

Researchers have reported growing hearts containing human cells in pig embryos for the first time. The embryos survived for 21 days, and in that time their tiny hearts started beating.

The stem cell-based embryo model (SCBEM) takes advantage of the flexibility of pluripotent stem cells (non-reproductive cells that can give rise to many different types of cells) to resemble that ...

"It's important for research and drug testing to be able to print a large number of organoids in a reproducible way. Our method also makes it possible to include other types of nerve cells ...

Learning how amphibians successfully do this could yield treatments that entice stem cells to mimic those actions. (The ability to reverse damage to your lungs and heart is tantalizingly close.) ...

A new model of memory — and a little-heralded type of brain cell — might explain why the human brain has such a huge storage capacity, researchers reported in the journal PNAS in May. The ...

Health A lifesaving gift: Son donates stem cells after father’s cancer diagnosis When Steve Howard was diagnosed with a blood cancer, his son, Jake, was the best match for a donation.

Upon exposure to the chemical pair, the zebrafish embryos exhibited various brain abnormalities, such as the rostral shift in brain region markers (e.g., hoxb1a gene), duplication of key neurons ...

New moms can donate their placentas under a Mercy Health initiative called Beginnings and Blessings. The program, which rolled out a year ago and has since expanded to six Mercy hospitals across the ...

Louis Réard shocked Paris — and the world — with the debut of the bikini, a revolutionary swimsuit that would become an enduring symbol of freedom and modernity, challenging social norms and redefinin ...
