RESEARCHERS have replicated the body’s blood-producing system by creating a bone marrow model made entirely from reprogrammed ...

Due to advancements in genetic engineering, small animal models are continuing to change in response to market needs. Model developers strive to better reflect the role of this important asset in both ...

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 ...

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease in which immune cells form tissue nodules in various organs, which can drastically impair organ function. Now a MedUni Vienna research team led by Thomas ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

Medical researchers have used animals, particularly mice, to mimic disease and study biological phenomena. The origin of mice as a standard model system for scientific research can extend back to the ...

Several European biotechs, including Cellbox Labs, Evotec SE, Nanolive SA, and Salipro Biotech AB, have developed innovative ...

Every year, more than 100 million animals are used globally in biomedical research, yet over 90% of drugs that appear effective in animal trials fail during human clinical testing. 1 This staggering ...

In a world first that challenges what we thought we knew about biology, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells that can photosynthesize. The breakthrough promises to revolutionize ...

The FDA is moving away from requiring animal models for investigational new drug (IND) applications for new monoclonal antibodies and some other drug candidates. Animal testing will be "reduced, ...
