Organoids, as three-dimensional, self-organizing tissue models, have become indispensable tools in fields such as oncology, infectious disease, developmental biology, and regenerative medicine.

Johns Hopkins University researchers have grown a novel whole-brain organoid, complete with neural tissues and rudimentary blood vessels—an advance that could usher in a new era of research into ...

Organoids have revolutionized science and medicine, providing platforms for disease modeling, drug testing, and understanding developmental processes. While not exact replicas of human organs, they ...

Research on conditions like autism, schizophrenia and even brain cancer increasingly relies on clusters of human cells called brain organoids. These pea-size bits of neural tissue model aspects of ...

Scientists from Cincinnati Children's and colleagues based in Japan report achieving a major step forward in organoid technology: producing liver tissue that grows its own internal blood vessels. This ...

Until now, most research has used either generalized cell samples or organoids made from just one type of tropical fruit bat, and only from a single organ. But a breakthrough has arrived: a research ...

Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...

Johns Hopkins researchers used light sheet microscopy to confirm cerebral organoids, endothelial organoids, and mid/hindbrain organoids fused into one Multi-Region Brain Organoid. Johns Hopkins ...
