Bioengineers at Queen Mary University of London have taken a significant step forward in the development of laboratory-based models of human tissues that may be used as alternatives to animal testing.

More than 100 million people in the United States suffer from metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), characterized by a buildup of fat in the liver. This condition can lead ...

Animal models are established, important tools for preclinical safety and efficacy testing. Companies are advancing more “humanized” models to better reflect human responses, while at the same time ...

Scientists used patient stem cells and 3D bioprinting to produce eye tissue that will advance understanding of the mechanisms of blinding diseases. The research team printed a combination of cells ...

Using their novel FRESH 3D bioprinting technique, which allows for printing of soft living cells and tissues, a lab has built a tissue model entirely out of collagen. Collagen is well-known as an ...

For the 300,000 Americans living with the immune disease scleroderma, better treatments can't come soon enough. The rare and sometimes fatal illness stiffens and scars tissue in organs like the lungs, ...

Heart rates are easier to monitor today than ever before. Thanks to smartwatches that can sense a pulse, all it takes is a quick flip of the wrist to check your heart. But monitoring the cells ...

Single-cell RNA sequencing has transformed biology by showing which genes are active in individual cells. However, this approach requires cells to be removed from their natural environment, erasing ...
