Researchers at UC Berkeley have built a microfluidic organ-on-a-chip system that compresses roughly 40 years of human aging into just four days. The device, which pairs miniature models of fat and ...

Organs-on-chips (OoCs) represent a revolutionary advancement in the study of human physiology and disease, offering an in vitro microphysiological environment that mimics the functions of human organs ...

For more than a century, textbooks and science websites have repeated a striking claim: the blood vessels inside a single ...

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) not only impact an individual's health but also result in multibillion-dollar economic losses worldwide. To study these diseases, a team of researchers has ...

R3 Bio wants to grow human bodies without brains, which could replace lab animals in drug research and one day supply organs ...

An international team of scientists and clinicians has announced, in Science Advances, the launch of a new open-access 3D portal that allows users to explore intact human organs in unprecedented ...

Sad sack or serious salvation? A small group of scientists is angling to replace laboratory animals with living “organ sacks” grown from human cells. R3 Bio, a billionaire-backed biotech startup, is ...
