Robots grow mini-organs from human stem cells

A robotic approach to mass-producing organoids could accelerate regenerative medicine research and drug discovery

‘Incompatible’ donor stem cells cure adult sickle cell patients

Adult patients cured of sickle cell disease using stem cells from donors previously thought to be incompatible, thanks to a new transplant treatment

Researchers have used a photolithographic-stereolithographic-tandem process to make biomimetic structures that help stem cells grow

New sensing strategy enables biological targets to be tracked and imaged in vitro and in vivo with high spatial and temporal accuracy

May lead to breakthroughs in tracking brain disorders such as autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s

New soft, smart glucose detectors can by monitor glucose levels directly and in real-time in tears and sweat

Injectable angiogenic material might be used in a potential new therapy for stroke

Uses a low-powered, ultrafast laser to alter biochemical and biomechanical tissue properties without causing cellular damage or tissue disruption

This approach, tested in a mouse model, points to cheaper and more effective treatments for humans
