Animal models have long shaped how biomedical research is conducted. They have influenced how diseases are studied, how ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

Under his microscope, Jun Wu could see several tiny spheres, each less than 1 millimetre wide. They looked just like human embryos: a dark cluster of cells surrounded by a cavity, and then another ...

For decades, animal models have been the gold standard for preclinical testing of potential drugs. Yet, even the best animal models are not perfect. For example, small rodent species with engrafted ...

Artificial intelligence has traditionally advanced through automatic accuracy tests in tasks meant to approximate human knowledge. Carefully crafted benchmark tests such as The General Language ...

Researchers have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four weeks after fertilization. This is ...

As enterprises increasingly integrate AI across their operations, the stakes for selecting the right model have never been higher and many technology leaders lean heavily on standard industry ...
