Researchers at UC Berkeley have built a microfluidic organ-on-a-chip system that compresses roughly 40 years of human aging into just four days. The device, which pairs miniature models of fat and ...

The Human Organ Atlas gives an extremely detailed look at 56 human organs, scanned with the help of a particle accelerator.

Organs-on-chips (OoCs) represent a revolutionary advancement in the study of human physiology and disease, offering an in vitro microphysiological environment that mimics the functions of human organs ...

Sad sack or serious salvation? A small group of scientists is angling to replace laboratory animals with living “organ sacks” grown from human cells. R3 Bio, a billionaire-backed biotech startup, is ...

Traditional animal models and simplified cell cultures often fail to capture human biology, limiting progress in biomedical research and drug development. Emerging microfluidic "Organ-on-Chip" ...

Sensational headlines scream about “headless humans” while the real story involves ending decades of animal cruelty in medical research. Boston biotech firm R3 BIO grows functional organ systems-lungs ...

Spinal cord injuries cause permanent paralysis in part because inflammation, cell death, and glial scarring block nerve regeneration, and there has been no reliable human tissue model to test ...

Engineers at the University of Pittsburgh are working to develop 3D-printed organic tissue models that mimic the behavior of living organs. Online cover of Science Advances, April issue. A ...
