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 ...

In an exciting scientific breakthrough, researchers at Johns Hopkins University have grown a miniature human brain in the lab. This tiny brain is called a multi-region brain organoid (MRBO). It mimics ...

In a groundbreaking development, Stanford scientists have harnessed the power of a common food additive, xanthan gum, to cultivate thousands of mini human brains, or organoids. This innovative ...

Though an estimated 60 million people around the world have atrial fibrillation, or A-fib, a type of irregular and often fast heartbeat, it's been at least 30 years since any new treatments have been ...

Researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine have discovered a new way that neurons act in neurodegeneration by using human neural organoids—also known as ...

Pea-sized brain blobs are a chatty bunch. Packed with neurons that spark with electrical activity, brain organoids—or “mini brains”—are a now popular way to study the human brain. Some organoids model ...
