Immediate use for the newly developed assembloids could include studying neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism.

Chemokines, our body's chemical messengers, play a crucial role in regulating the immune response.  They are secreted by ...

Four tiny 3D organs connected themselves in a lab dish, forming a replica of the human pain pathway, in a new study. The discovery allows scientists to better understand chronic pain and how pain ...

Scientists have re-created a pain pathway in the brain by growing four key clusters of human nerve cells in a dish. This ...

Cells use many complex genetic repair backup systems to fix DNA damage and remain healthy throughout their lives.

Research has shown that a biological brain mechanism called the 'kynurenine pathway' is imbalanced in adolescents with depression, and this imbalance is more pronounced in teenage girls than boys.

Scientists have gained greater clarity in the brain regions and neurons that control metabolism, body temperature and energy use. A team of researchers discovered which chemicals influence the signals ...

Hormonal health isn’t something you fix once and forget—it’s a process of tuning in, adjusting, and supporting your body as ...

Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of humans' most prominent nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit ...

Scent loss may be more than a minor inconvenience. It can signal early signs of neurological or emotional health issues.

Scientists created a model of the human pain pathway in a dish by connecting four separate brain organoids. The feat should help them understand sensory disorders like those affecting pain perception.
