As a fetus develops, its body is bathed in amniotic fluid: a warm, salty soup of nutrients, hormones, and antibodies produced by its mother. And into that fluid, a fetus is constantly sloughing off or ...

Researchers from the Organoid group (previously Clevers group) at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new organoid that mimics the human fetal pancreas, offering a clearer view of its early ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that ...

A pair of proteins could contribute to the development of healthy, strong bones by directing early cell movement and blood vessel generation. A pair of proteins, YAP and TAZ, has been identified as ...

To study pattern formation, researchers used a method called the landscape-flux framework — which can be extended to other ...

This is the longest-lived set of developing kidney organoids derived from tissue stem cells The kidney developed over a half a year, enabling real-time observation, gene isolation for birth defects ...

Genomic analyses of mother–father–fetus trios after early pregnancy loss uncover contributions from chromosomal abnormalities and subtle genetic variants. Arnadottir et al. set out to fill this ...

For the first time, researchers from both Sheba Medical Center and Tel Aviv University have grown human kidney organoids (a synthetic 3D organ culture) from tissue stem cells in the laboratory, ...
