In a fascinating new study, scientists created fully-functional mini-livers out of human skin cells, then successfully transplanted them into rats. The research is a proof-of-concept for potentially ...

Miniature organs have a new lifeline. Mimicking the way early human embryos grow blood vessels, scientists nudged multiple types of mini organs to sprout their own vascular networks. Also called ...

Scientists at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) have developed the world's most sophisticated laboratory model of the human body, creating a system of miniaturized organs ...
