Organoids—self-organizing, self-reproducing structures that serve as 3D in vitro models—date back to 2009. Back then, researchers at the Hubrecht Institute led by Hans Clevers, PhD, introduced a ...

University of Minnesota researchers develop a 3D printing technique for realistic human tissue models for surgical training.

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, ...

Lung diseases like tuberculosis and cystic fibrosis can be difficult to treat. In part, that's because the two-dimensional models researchers use to study the diseases don't accurately reflect the ...

Research and drug discovery are undergoing a transformation, driven by the rise of 3D cell culture models that better replicate human biology. Unlike traditional 2D cultures and animal models, which ...

Kimberly Quincy, a first-year graduate student in UW’s Division of Communication Disorders, displays a 3D human larynx model she created using an online software program as part of the Make-IT ...

The new model mimics the structure and function of the human conjunctiva in a lab dish, even producing its own tears. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.
