At first glance, it looks like the start of a human pregnancy: A ball-shaped embryo presses gently into the receptive lining ...

The study shows that fat tissue, when processed and cultured in a specific way, can self-organize into structures resembling ...

Scientists rely on cytokines, growth factors, and other agents to direct and create different types of organoid models.

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.

Tiny lab-grown “mini brains” are no longer just a futuristic curiosity. By capturing the electrical chatter of neurons in a ...

In a laboratory at Johns Hopkins University, there’s a small orb the size of a pinprick. But this speck of matter contains multitudes. Within it, there are neurons firing across synapses and electric ...

A novel electrode platform detects dopamine from single living brain organoids in real time, enabling non-destructive ...

"We are able to generate this polarity consistently along the organoid's entire longitudinal axis," corresponding author Knoblich says. The scientists then demonstrated how patterned cortical ...

Atelerix, a biotech company revolutionising cell preservation and biological transport with its pioneering hydrogel encapsulation technology, today announced it has entered a partnership with Cherry ...

A brain organoid grown with Neanderthal DNA reveals how evolution shaped the brains of modern humans and adds to evidence that brain differences helped us survive while our human cousins went extinct.
