Memory-based dietary assessments; organs-on-a-chip; scientists in Italy accused of spreading plant pathogen

Researchers make more progress toward growing human intestines in mice, paving the way for better models of intestinal function and failure.

Yoshiki Sasai, a prominent organogenesis researcher who was a coauthor on two retracted stem cell studies, has died of apparent suicide at 52, officials say.

Researchers successfully transplant engineered esophagi into living rats.

Using human stem cells, investigators from the U.S. and Spain generate functional ureteric buds.

With the advent of xenotransplantation, tissues made from cell-seeded scaffolds, and 3-D-printing, custom-made organs must be right around the corner.

Scientists feel the shutdown’s sting; dogs comprehend human cues; lab-grown secretory glands; whether online comments help or hurt science

Researchers have engineered functional, lab-grown precursors to salivary and tear glands, successfully connecting them to ducts and nerves in mice.
