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

Scientists have developed a new human-based endometrial model to study embryonic implantation in the early stages of ...

Human-centric task modeling and formal verification have emerged as pivotal approaches in the design and evaluation of complex socio-technical systems. These methodologies integrate detailed ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) represent a profound challenge to global health, characterized by progressive neuronal dysfunction and loss, leading to ...

A frequently reported fact in the drug discovery and development industry is that approximately 90 % of drug candidates reaching clinical trials fail, with even higher amounts discarded before ...

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...

We build AI systems to mimic the human brain: writing emails, answering questions and predicting what comes next. But new research aims to turn that relationship around—using large language models ...

To create a cervix-on-a-chip, the researchers added cells that line the cervical canal to one channel of a microfluidic device. To an adjacent channel, they introduced cervical fibroblasts that form ...

Hidden within our bones, marrow sustains life by producing billions of blood cells daily, from oxygen-carrying red cells to immune-boosting white cells. This vital function is often disrupted in ...

Neurofibrillary tangles mark Alzheimer’s disease and a plethora of primary tauopathies. How best to study them in the lab? Most mouse tauopathy models overexpress the human tau protein and are highly ...
