A new study reveals the biological secret to the Zika virus's infectious success: Zika uses host cells' own "self-care" ...

Researchers led by Maike Sander, scientific director of the Max Delbrück Center, have developed a vascularized organoid model ...

Researchers have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas. The advance promises to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies.

Model more closely replicates natural environment of the pancreas, which will be essential for studying diabetes and ...

The promise of regenerative medicine through stem-cell therapy is intoxicating. Stem-cell lines are pluripotent (that is, they can develop into various cell types); they are self-renewable ...

From antibody-drug conjugates to PARP inhibitors, innovative treatments are offering new hope for patients with ...

For instance, organoids from some stem cell lines showed higher sensitivity to the WNT morphogen and the activated genes were concentrated towards the bottom of the brain where the hindbrain develops.

What if we could reprogramme the TME itself? Cutting-edge research suggests that engineered mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) ...

Gene therapies offer incredible promise for treating diseases with a genetic component. Several gene therapies are already available, and adeno-associated virus (AAV) has become a popular choice for ...
