The development of humans and other animals unfolds gradually over time, with cells taking on specific roles and functions ...

That first pulse of life, the careful, patterned movement of cells that creates a new organism, has always been something of a secret miracle. Now, MIT engineers have introduced a deep-learning model ...

aProximate TM is an advanced in vitro model of kidney proximal tubule cells (PTCs) that closely mimics physiological conditions. Derived from fresh human kidney tissue, aProximate TM PTCs are cultured ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

Single-cell RNA sequencing has transformed biology by showing which genes are active in individual cells. However, this approach requires cells to be removed from their natural environment, erasing ...

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...

A vascularized organoid model of hormone-secreting cells in the pancreas has been developed, with potential to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies. “Our results highlight the importance ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

In a recent study, Associate Professor Makoto Ikeya (Department of Clinical Application) and his team of researchers successfully established a method to generate jawbone-like organoids (mini-organs) ...
