Overcoming acquired treatment resistance is one of the major challenges in the fight against cancer. While combination therapies hold promise, their toxicity to healthy tissue remains a major hurdle.

An organ is a group of tissues that work together to perform a specific task in the body, such as digesting nutrients or producing chemical messengers that enable brain cells to communicate. Although ...

UCLA researchers have created miniature stem cell-based organoid models of human lungs, hearts and brains to study how hantaviruses—rare but often deadly viruses spread by rodents—infect the body.

Traditional animal models and simplified cell cultures often fail to capture human biology, limiting progress in biomedical research and drug development. Emerging microfluidic "Organ-on-Chip" ...

Funding backs a human-first approach to drug safety and efficacy, reducing reliance on animal testing and accelerating therapies for patients.

The mandatory model will give performance-based payments and penalties to participating transplant centers. The Increasing Organ Transplant Access Model (IOTA), the 6-year mandatory model to increase ...

Perfusion keeps a donated organ alive outside the body, giving surgeons extra time and increasing the number of transplants possible. By Ted Alcorn On some level, the human liver in the operating room ...
