A recent scientific breakthrough has seen lab-grown kidneys successfully functioning in a human trial. This promising development has far-reaching implications for organ transplant procedures and the ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development—including the production ...

Our cells are constantly being pushed, stretched, and compressed without our awareness: a play of invisible forces that influences their behavior. A study published in the journal Lab on a Chip ...

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It builds tendons, ligaments, skin, and bone. When a surgeon repairs a torn rotator cuff, however, the suture they use is almost always ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...
