Stem cell–derived organoids are giving researchers powerful new ways to explore how human tissues grow and how diseases begin. By adding vascular structures, scientists can more closely mimic how real ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz have trained lab-grown clusters of mouse brain cells to balance a virtual pole on a moving cart, marking what the team calls the first ...

Research on conditions like autism, schizophrenia and even brain cancer increasingly relies on clusters of human cells called brain organoids. These pea-size bits of neural tissue model aspects of ...

The need for medical treatments for rare diseases such as Leigh syndrome is high. However, low patient numbers make research ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self. Research on ...
