An advanced human heart organoid system can be used to model embryonic heart development under pregestational diabetes-like conditions, researchers report. The organoids recapitulate hallmarks of ...

Konstanz researchers identify an enzyme that plays a role in the migration of cells in our body—not only during normal tissue formation and wound healing, but also when tumor cells metastasize. This ...

Researchers have developed a new software tool that provides unprecedented capabilities to see inside 3D images. Its interactive, dynamic cutaway views allowed them to analyze never-before-seen ...

Heart to the left. Liver to the right. That's where you'll find these organs in a healthy human body, but surprisingly, in ...

Eating large amounts of ultra-processed food (UPF) is linked not only to reduced fertility in men, but also to slower growth ...

A new open-source software tool helps see the inside of 3D and 4D images, providing insight into embryonic mouse heart development. 3D and 4D imaging, which is 3D imaging combined with time to show ...

Long before human bone marrow takes over the task of producing blood, discrete waves of blood cell production occur in the developing embryo. Miriana Dardano, a postdoctoral researcher in Zweigerdt’s ...

Congenital heart defects are the most common form of human birth defect, but we still don’t fully understand what causes them. Previous research had suggested that some heart defects could be ...

A project at Stevens Institute of Technology has developed a software tool able to reveal previously unseen time-dependent details of tissues imaged with OCT. Reported in Biomedical Optics Express, ...

This video shows a 3D confocal reconstruction of an organoid surface, showing blood vessels in green and cardiomyocytes in red. Blue is cell nuclei. An advanced human heart organoid system can be used ...
