Medicine & TechnologyResearchers created a groundbreaking 3D organoid model of the human conjunctiva, offering insights into tear production and providing a platform for drug testing. Check out more details in this article.
Organoid technology have allowed scientists to grow 3D tissue structures similar to organs like the heart and lungs. This is the first time that researchers have developed mini-intestine organoids that carry out multiple intestinal functions due to its extended lifespan.
While observing brain cells affected by Alzheimer's disease, researchers discover a suppressor gene and develop a new rapid drug-screening system for treatment.
