Researchers recently pulled off an experiment that resulted in brain organoids growing optic cups — the embryonic structures that develop into eyes.

Ever since scientists began growing human mini-brains from stem cells, they have been unsurprisingly controversial. Concerns over them becoming sentient rose as some were shown to generate brain waves. Debates over how long to allow them to live continue, even though their potential use in drug testing for neurological illnesses shows their benefits. The controversy... Read more »

Understanding how eyes develop can help researchers pinpoint how to treat early retinal diseases

Researchers have successfully grown primitive eye structures on brain organoids that they had made in the lab.

Katie Galloway, the Charles and Hilda Roddey Career Development Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering at MIT, has received a highly prestigious Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award (MIRA) from the National Institute of General Medical Scien

Hematopoietic stem cells — the precursors to blood cells — have been notoriously difficult to grow in a dish, a critical tool in basic research. Scientists at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have identified the underlying issue

  Princess Margaret Cancer Centre researchers have made new findings which provide a broader understanding of how dormant hematopoietic stem cells are activated and could pave the way towards therapeutic treatments for a number of cancers. The team has made the discovery by performing a deep mechanistic study of lysosomes, which are membrane-bound organelles found in all cells. Lysosomes were once believed to merely be the “garbage bin” of the stem cell, recycling waste material, regulatin...
