UTRECHT, Netherlands -- Els van der Heijden, who has cystic fibrosis, was finding it ever harder to breathe as her lungs filled with thick, sticky mucus. Despite taking more than a dozen pills and ...

Cervical epithelial cells are far from passive bystanders in the body's immune system. New research shows they actually play an active and highly coordinated role in detecting and fighting infections.

UCLA researchers have created miniature stem cell-based organoid models of human lungs, hearts and brains to study how hantaviruses—rare but often deadly viruses spread by rodents—infect the body.

We've seen 3D printers that can print some strange materials—one of our favorites being a chocolate 3D printer. That said, we have never come across one that can 3D print organs. At least, not until ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have stumbled upon a remarkable 'mini organ' hidden within mammalian cells, shedding light on a previously unknown aspect of cellular biology. The recently ...

Scientists have developed 3D mini-organs from human fetal brain tissue that self-organize in vitro. These lab-grown organoids open up a brand-new way of studying how the brain develops. They also ...

Graphical illustration of the single-cell atlas of the human uterine cervix. It highlights the comparison of tissue and organoid cell types, how pathogen infection affects the cervical cells, and the ...
