Scientists have grown embryo-like structures in the laboratory that produced human blood cells, raising new possibilities for regenerative medicine. The ability to generate blood stem cells in the laboratory may one day make it possible to treat patients in need of bone marrow transplants using their own cells. The advance is the latest in a rapidly advancing field in which …

Earlier this year, John Hopkins University scientists revealed that they had created something astonishing: a miniature whole human brain. Specifically, it was a type of organoid, a small mass of human tissue grown from stem cells meant to mimic the function of our organs — and, most importantly, serve as a test bed to study diseases and new drugs for …

Scientists generally believe brain organoids — 3D aggregations of tissue that mimic some of the structures of the brain — are too simple to support consciousness. But as brain organoids become more sophisticated, there’s a theoretical possibility that some may cross that threshold someday. The brain organoids that have been made so far typically represent just one part of the …

Scientists used 3D-printed scaffolds and stem cells to regrow nerve fibers across severed spinal cords in rats, restoring function and pointing to a promising new path for treating paralysis. Credit: Shutterstock Researchers have created a remarkable new approach to repairing spinal cord injuries by merging 3D printing, stem cells, and lab-grown tissues. They engineered tiny scaffolds that guide stem cells …

Medical science has been on an exponential growth for the past few years. Among many, a major effort is focused on creating lab-grown kidneys. Now, a hospital in Israel has achieved the breakthrough that marks a significant milestone in regenerative medicine.Sheba Medical Centre along with the help of Tel Aviv University has successfully created a synthetic 3D organ culture or …

Imagine a reality where a person who lost the ability to walk due to war, an accident or an injury undergoes surgery and rises to their feet again. A team of Israeli scientists is bringing that dream closer to reality. In 2022, researchers at Tel Aviv University successfully engineered a human spinal cord in a laboratory for the first time. …

BBC In an unassuming building in Stratford, east London, British start-up Better Dairy is making cheese that has never seen an udder, which it argues tastes like the real thing. It is one of a handful of companies around the world hoping to bring lab-grown cheese to our dinner tables in the next few years. But there has been a …
