With no end to the shortage of organ donors in sight, scientists have for decades attempted to build organs for transplantation from the ground up. The discovery of embryonic stem cells in 1981 ...

Nowadays, mini-organs, or 3D-organoids, which originate from animal or human stem cells, are also often used for stem cell research. The structure of the tissue is partly maintained in the organoid ...

3 However, the generation of fetal organoids is complicated by ethical and legal restrictions on the harvesting of the human tissues needed to generate the mini-organs ... the womb,” said Mattia Gerli ...

Since organs are clusters of large amounts of cells, I focused on engineering individual cells, stem cells, as a first step. What is your approach to creating hypoimmune stem cells? My approach uses ...

The technique uses pluripotent stem cells created by genetically reprogramming ... roughly disk shaped mini-kidneys. These three dimensional ‘mini-organs’, contain many of the cell types and ...

The team are carrying out a clinical trial of a method which uses an artificial ‘scaffold’, made ... complex organ. The first trachea transplant using the patient’s own stem cells took ...

Stem cells function as the source of new cells to build tissues and organs and are central players in the development of complex organisms ranging from plants to humans. By genetically marking ...
