UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a 3D bio-printed model that closely mimics the complexity of natural lung tissue, an innovation that could transform how scientists study lung disease and ...

The effectiveness of non-clinical drug safety predictions is enhanced by the adoption of three-dimensional (3D) cellular models. 3D bioprinting enables the generation of complex models with spatial ...

Assembloids: A Versatile Platform for Human Tissue Modeling. This schematic illustrates the classification of assembloids based on four key assembly strategies—multi-region, multi-lineage, ...

For the first time, scientists can now leverage the reproducibility of ioCells to study how the four major CNS cell types interact and contribute to neurological diseases. This enables more precise ...

A novel iPSC-derived lung-on-chip model mimics human alveolar tissue, revealing macrophage-driven tuberculosis responses.

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

In the new study, the team used the model to demonstrate that as Alzheimer's pathology accumulates in the brain, specific types of immune cells called CT8+ T Cells surge into the brain and amplify the ...

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 ...
