Scientists in Italy are developing sweet snacks with lab-grown plant cells and fruit residues, producing a material that a 3D ...

Cellular, animal and computational models of the disease are providing fresh insights into biology and treatment.

A cell is fundamentally a container—a vessel that encapsulates life at the most basic level. Many biologists believe encapsulation of chemicals may have been necessary for evolution to gain traction.

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

With a five-year survival rate of less than 5%, glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive types of brain cancer. Until now, all available treatments, including immunotherapy—which involves ...

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 ...

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has demonstrated a new application for its cell-expansion bioreactor to advance tissue engineering and cell-based therapies for treatment of injuries and diseases.

In recent months, the Food and Drug Administration and National Institutes of Health have announced new initiatives to reduce and replace animal testing in biomedical research. Central to these ...

In the UK, there was a case where TGN1412, an immunotherapy under development, triggered a cytokine storm within hours of administration to humans, leading to multiple organ failure. Another example, ...

ENTERPRISE, Ala. (WTVY) - A month into the government shutdown, animal rescues are seeing a troubling trend as pet owners face difficult decisions about their animals. The Troy Animal Rescue Project ...

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 ...
