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 ...
Microscopic images of human tissue are a cornerstone of biomedical research and clinical diagnostics. Yet despite their ...
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 ...
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 ...
As a researcher, I still remember the discomfort I felt every time I had to sacrifice laboratory animals for an experiment.
From the time we are conceived and through old age, genetic mutations accumulate in all our tissues, eluding the body’s typically efficient DNA repair machinery and potentially affecting our health ...
For decades, lab-grown cells have been studied in materials that don't reflect the softness and flexibility of human tissue.
