UCLA researchers have successfully grown miniature lungs from stem cells — complete with their own functioning blood vessel networks. The groundbreaking work, detailed in Cell, marks the first time scientists have created lung organoids with integrated vascular systems that closely mirror how lungs develop in the human body. The advance […]

San Diego's Gallant just secured $18 million to push forward something that sounds like science fiction: shelf-ready stem cell treatments for pets. This funding could make the startup the first company to bring FDA-approved stem cell therapy to veterinary clinics across America. The seven-year-old company has its sights set on […]

It wasn’t long ago that lubricating and maintaining certain machinery was done every X number of hours. The time-based approach was a ballpark way of ensuring it wasn’t neglected, but it was far from optimal. In 2025, such maintenance is becoming automated. With Industry 4.0, there’s a movement towards intelligent […]

University of Warwick research has shown that the cognitive slowness and disjointedness that comes with aging can be better explained as a symptom of a brain that knows too much (‘cluttered wisdom’) instead of a symptom of a brain that is declining. Traditional views of cognitive aging suggest that declines […]

A new study led by the University of Southampton has found that medications for ADHD have overall small effects on blood pressure and heart rate after weeks or a few months of use. There have been concerns about the side effects of ADHD medications but the new findings, coupled with […]

Scientists from Southampton are investigating how gut health might influence our brain, immune system and mental wellbeing. They say it could potentially lead to new treatments for conditions like anxiety, depression, and dementia. Academics from the University of Southampton will lead a new gut-immunology-brain axis network launching in the UK […]

New research from the University of Sydney links fatty, sugary diets to impaired brain function. The findings build on a growing body of evidence showing the negative impact of high-fat, high-sugar (HFHS) diets on cognitive ability, adding to their well-known physical effects. Published in the International Journal of Obesity, the […]

One in three Americans is likely to be affected by a brain disorder in their lifetime. Many of these conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease or severe developmental disorders, have no reliable treatment. To develop therapies for these complex and often devastating conditions, scientists need to first understand how the brain works […]

Preclinical models that accurately predict clinical outcomes are vital for advancing cancer therapeutics. Patient-Derived Xenograft (PDX) models—created by implanting human tumor fragments into immunodeficient mice—maintain the architecture, stromal elements, and molecular heterogeneity of the original tumor. They’re essential for testing new drugs, understanding resistance, and discovering predictive biomarkers. What Are […]
