Two models more accurately replicate the physiology of the liver, offering a new way to test treatments for fat buildup. More than 100 million people in the United States suffer from metabolic ...

Drugs that are taken orally need to pass through the lining of the gastrointestinal (GI) to be taken up. Transporter proteins found on cells that line the GI tract help with this process, but for many ...

For the 300,000 Americans living with the immune disease scleroderma, better treatments can't come soon enough. The rare and sometimes fatal illness stiffens and scars tissue in organs like the lungs, ...

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University report that they have built a first-of-its-kind microphysiologic system, or tissue model, entirely out of collagen using their Freeform Reversible Embedding ...

For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...

Credit: Tufts University. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measuring how light is absorbed by blood in the brain has become a key method for inferring brain activity. But in a fNIRS ...

Lab-grown skin captures the complexities of real disease to develop more effective treatments for scleroderma and other life-threatening conditions. For the 300,000 Americans living with the immune ...
