The development could help scientists develop patient-specific treatments and one day offer a lab-grown lung transplant option.

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

D printing creates solid objects from the additive process of layering plastics, metal, wood, synthetic fibers, and more.

Researchers have captured the very first real-time, three-dimensional images and videos of a human embryo implanting into collagen designed to mimic uterine tissue —a key stage in reproduction. The ...
