Researchers have uncovered how different types of brain cells work together to form large-scale functional networks in the human brain -- interconnected systems that support everything from sensory ...

Assembloids: A Versatile Platform for Human Tissue Modeling. This schematic illustrates the classification of assembloids based on four key assembly strategies—multi-region, multi-lineage, ...

When biomedical researchers need to test their latest ideas, they often turn to engineered human tissue that mimics the responses in our own bodies. It's become an important intermediary step before ...

Millions of people live with atrial fibrillation, a racing, uneven heartbeat that can leave you exhausted and scared. Yet it ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

The US biomedical funding agency also hints at future restrictions on research involving human embryonic stem cells.

In a recent study published in Immunology, researchers investigated populations of regulatory T cells (Treg), a type of white blood cell, in various tissues. Study: The tissue-resident regulatory T ...

When a rhinovirus, the most frequent cause of the common cold, infects the lining of our nasal passages, our cells work ...
