It is known that the antiepileptic drug valproate increases the risk of developmental disorders in unborn children. A study ...

Organoids are miniature tissue or organ models formed by stem cells (including pluripotent stem cells, tissue-specific adult ...

For over a decade, scientists have been growing organoids — small clusters of cells that mimic a particular organ — to serve as miniature biological models. Organoids of the brain have been used to ...

Understanding and controlling how cancer cells transition between different states remains a critical challenge in tumor ...

In a recent review published in the journal Organoids, scientists have presented an overview on the use of human stem cell-derived organoids in understanding functionality and cellular tropism of ...

Dr. Angels Almenar-Queralt is Assistant Professor, Department of Pediatrics at the University of California, San Diego. The organoid field has come a long way in a relatively short amount of time. The ...

In a breakthrough for bioengineering, researchers have developed organoids that can model the human respiratory tract. The organoids, called AirGels, allow them to uncover the mechanism by which ...

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 ...

Organoids are 3D cell culture models that more accurately reflect the structural and functional complexities of organs in vitro than traditional 2D cell culture methods. Generally derived from stem ...

This study is led by Dr. Shanqiang Qu (Institute of Brain Disease, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University) and Rongyang Xu (The First Clinical Medical College of Southern Medical University) , ...
