Pasca Lab specializes in growing three-dimensional organoid models from reprogrammed stem cells, which capture molecular changes during fetal brain-like development. Because the human brain cannot be ...

King's College London researchers have created a unique collection of human stem cell models that could help to uncover why ...

Every year, around 15 million babies worldwide are born before 37 weeks of gestation. Being born preterm can disrupt development, and earlier births increase the risk of life-changing health outcomes.

Organoids have transformed biomedical research by giving scientists miniature versions of human organs to study in the lab.

Increasing paternal age has been linked to elevated health risks for the next generation, including higher risks of obesity and stillbirth. But what drives this increased risk remains unknown. A new ...

Your body is like a busy city with construction crews working every day. These crews are your stem cells. They fix damage, keep everything running, and build new structures when needed. But as you get ...

Researchers from University of California San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute have discovered that spaceflight accelerates the aging of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), which ...

While scientists are still working to understand the effects an extended trip to space can have on the human body, research in recent years has suggested that astronauts may experience some pretty ...

Neurites include axons, which are often severed during spinal cord injuries. When axons are cut, communication between ...

Scientists have advanced human-animal chimera research by successfully growing human cells within the organs of mice. This development could bring experts closer to the goal of custom-growing human ...
