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

Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, enabling more precise prediction of drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity ...

The challenges of connecting molecular changes to tissue structure and highlights the potential of multifractal frameworks to quantify complex biological patterns ...

Sickle cell disease is often thought of solely as a blood disorder, but new research from the Wood Neuro Research Group ...

Researchers from University of California San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute have discovered that spaceflight accelerates the aging of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), which ...

As described in research published today in Cell, the new model can be used to study the origin and function of the human amnion and help identify previously unknown ways the amniotic sac might ...

A cell model that replicates the structure and function of the human intestine has been developed, creating an evaluation platform capable of more accurately predicting adverse effects of new drugs.

How much of our genome really matters? Some argue that because most of our DNA is active, it must be doing something important. Others say even random DNA would be highly active. This has now been put ...

A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene—found very frequently in human tumors—hijack DNA ...

FDA authorization under an IND permits first-in-human phase I/II testing of SVT-001 in familial drusen, focusing on safety ...
