Until now, mini-organs have been made from stem cells extracted from non-viable embryos or reprogrammed adult cells; never before had they been taken from living fetuses developing in utero.
Nowadays, mini-organs, or 3D-organoids, which originate from animal or human stem cells, are also often used for stem cell research. The structure of the tissue is partly maintained in the organoid ...
A rapid and efficient method developed to create stem-cell-based 3D mini-organs derived from the cells of patients offers a way to evaluate personalized treatments using RNA therapies for rare ...
A patch made from lab-grown muscle cells boosted heart function in monkeys with cardiovascular disease and is now being ...
They are very rare and could not be propagated in the culture dish until now, which made ... of HI-STEM, had already demonstrated several years ago that only a few of the circulating tumor cells are ...
The technique uses pluripotent stem cells created by genetically reprogramming ... roughly disk shaped mini-kidneys. These three dimensional ‘mini-organs’, contain many of the cell types and ...
The team are carrying out a clinical trial of a method which uses an artificial ‘scaffold’, made ... complex organ. The first trachea transplant using the patient’s own stem cells took ...
Stem cells function as the source of new cells to build tissues and organs and are central players in the development of complex organisms ranging from plants to humans. By genetically marking ...
This is especially problematic in cases of blocked blood vessels, which can repeatedly starve large areas of the heart of ...
