Bats that experience food shortages due to climate change and habitat loss end up roosting in urban settings, where they shed more of the deadly Hendra virus. 

The Georgetown University biologist studies how climate change contributes to the emergence of new zoonotic threats.

Explore tissue-specific protocols for growing organoids from primary tissue or stem cells.

Automated live-cell analysis simplifies organoid research.

As research and therapeutic applications for pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) grow, so does the need to reliably and cost-effectively generate large numbers of high-quality cells.

Mathematical models reveal that current vaccination rates in Texas schools could pave the way for the virus to spread to hundreds of people.

Using the mutagenic chemical N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea, researchers confirm the role of a gene in a piglet deformity and identify potential models for human diseases. 

This 3-D model of human intestinal cells could help scientists develop new antimicrobial drugs and therapeutics.

The mosquitoes that carry the virus could spread to US cities this summer, with travelers returning from Zika-infected regions contributing to the disease’s spread.

The study of mini “brains” in a dish, derived from patient cells, offers a novel approach for autism spectrum disorder research.

From the tissue of numerous colon cancer patients, researchers build 3-D cultures of tumors.

A miniature platform with multiple organ-on-a-chip constructs aims to speed up drug discovery—and create better transplants for patients.

Meet the researchers behind ATHENA, the project that aims to create a system of linked model human organs that may revolutionize drug development.

In the latest iteration of organ-on-a-chip technology, researchers develop an in vitro model of functioning human heart tissue with an inherited cardiovascular disease.
