Researchers have used pluripotent stem cells to make thymus organoids that support the development of patient-specific T-cells, researchers report March 23rd in the journal Stem Cell…

In a study publishing in the journal Cell Stem Cell on February 2, researchers show that brain organoids -- clumps of lab-grown neurons -- can integrate with rat brains and respond to visual…

A team of engineers and neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals' cortex and…

Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) find that spheroids grown in suspension mature into human intestinal organoids when transferred to a bioreactor and differentiate…

A team of engineers at UC Santa Cruz has developed a new method for remote automation of the growth of cerebral organoids -- miniature, three-dimensional models of brain tissue grown from…

Alcohol consumption during pregnancy poses significant peril to the healthy development of the unborn child. There is no known safe amount of alcohol during pregnancy. The consequences of…

Using human brain organoids, an international team of researchers, led by scientists at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Sanford Consortium, has shown how the…

Patient-derived parathyroid organoids (PTOs) could pave the way for future physiology studies and drug-screening applications, as shown in a study published on October 27 in the journal Stem…

Scientists have developed a research method that allows for a much more detailed examination of the brain processes involved in some neurological and mental disorders. This is achieved by…

Whatever you do, don't call them "mini-brains," say University of Utah Health scientists. Regardless, the seed-sized organoids -- which are grown in the lab from human cells -- provide…
