Miniature organs have a new lifeline. Mimicking the way early human embryos grow blood vessels, scientists nudged multiple types of mini organs to sprout their own vascular networks. Also called ...

UCLA researchers have created the first lung organoids with organotypic blood vessel networks, marking a major advancement in modeling how lungs naturally develop in the human body. The vascularized ...

Scientists are using organoids to screen drug candidates, grow viruses, build biocomputers, and much, much more. This article first appeared in The Checkup, MIT Technology Review's weekly biotech ...

Organoids are three-dimensional, miniaturized, and simplified versions of organs produced in vitro from stem cells or organ-specific progenitor cells. They recapitulate key structural and functional ...

Diagnostic imaging and genetic screens help clinicians catch congenital fetal diseases in utero, but models for studying organ development and disease progression are limited. Over the last decade, ...

The researchers used fluorescent images to classify the corresponding bright-field images, based on their RAX expression, into three categories: A (wide RAX expression, high quality); B (medium RAX ...

Amanda Andersson-Rolf at Karolinska Institutet has been awarded the Swedish Foundations' Starting Grant 2026. With this ...

The organoids we created from amniotic fluid cells exhibit many of the functions of the tissues they represent, including gene and protein expression. They will allow us to study what is happening ...

A new study looks at the physical forces that help shape developing organs. Scientists in the past believed that the fast-acting biochemistry of genes and proteins is responsible for directing this ...
