A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

The relationship between some of the major human cell types analyzed in the publication by Karlsson et al (2021). Credit: Human Protein Atlas The relationship between some of the major human cell ...

Gene expression reveals that different types of human cell can work as a unit. These cellular modules, found in several tissues, change during disease. However, suitable computational methods are ...

In this Innovation Spotlight, Treutlein shares her excitement of using organoids to model the human brain, harnessing AI to accelerate laboratory discoveries, and discusses how massive-scale ...

As a researcher, I still remember the discomfort I felt every time I had to sacrifice laboratory animals for an experiment.

AN ADULT HUMAN body consists of some 37trn cells. Not so long ago, these were thought to come in 220 different types. That number, the product of painstaking decades spent peering through microscopes ...

For decades, lab-grown cells have been studied in materials that don't reflect the softness and flexibility of human tissue.

A new light-controlled hydrogel developed at CU Boulder mimics the movement and flexibility of real tissue, giving scientists ...

“Our results suggest that forensic applications of DNAm clocks using non-blood tissue types will provide age estimates that are not as accurate as predictions based on blood, especially if using ...
