Our body's "blood factory" consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types.

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the ...

This review highlights how the rotating wall vessel bioreactor has been used to establish physiologically relevant three-dimensional monotypic and co-culture models of human cells and tissues. These ...

Adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) have gained great attention in regenerative medicine. Progress in our understanding of adult neovascularization further suggests the potential of ASCs in promoting ...

MIT scientists have developed a new 3D human brain tissue model that could change how researchers study neurological diseases. The platform, called Multicellular Integrated Brains or miBrains, ...

There’s no doubt that medicine has come a long way; we know way more about how the human body works than ever before. Seeing inside the body, though, still presents a challenge. Yes, we have scans, ...

One of the most basic biological dramas is now available in interactive 3D. Researchers at the Allen Institute for Cell Science today unveiled a project that offers a near-complete view of how cells ...

As researchers explore therapeutic strategies for more complex and heterogeneous diseases the need for more physiologically relevant models has never been greater. Researchers are increasingly looking ...

In the new study, the team used the model to demonstrate that as Alzheimer's pathology accumulates in the brain, specific types of immune cells called CT8+ T Cells surge into the brain and amplify the ...

Early on in the pandemic, it became clear Covid-19 had made the leap from animals to humans. The exact chain of transmission isn't known, but the science so far suggests bats played a starring role.

Neuronal death is the indisputable endgame of Alzheimer’s disease, but what does the killing, and how? To try to solve the mystery, researchers have staged increasingly complex crime scenes in ...
