For decades, animal models have been the gold standard for preclinical testing of potential drugs. Yet, even the best animal models are not perfect. For example, small rodent species with engrafted ...

Knoepfler is a professor of cell biology and human anatomy at UC Davis School of Medicine. Researchers are racing to engineer highly realistic human embryo models using stem cells in the lab. Some of ...

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...

EPFL researchers have developed a powerful method to generate brain-wide, biologically realistic wiring maps of the mouse brain. Their approach bridges experimental data with mathematical and ...

Using an affordable 3D printer and the CRAFT method, researchers created a model human hand from a single feedstock with distinct domains that mimic the hardness or flexibility of skin, ligaments, ...

Scientists have created the first 3D model of the human conjunctiva — the clear, protective outer membrane of the eye — in the lab, and it even produces its own tears. The researchers say the new ...
