Researchers at LMU have developed a human cell model that replicates key mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases—with ...

For the first time, a stem cell model has produced a structure resembling an early human embryo with a yolk-sac-like structure, from a single starting stem cell population and without direct genetic ...

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 ...

Animal models have long shaped how biomedical research is conducted. They have influenced how diseases are studied, how risks are assessed, and how potential treatments move from early discovery ...

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 ...

Traditional animal models and simplified cell cultures often fail to capture human biology, limiting progress in biomedical research and drug development. Emerging microfluidic "Organ-on-Chip" ...
