Scientists can use patient-derived tissue samples to grow miniature versions of human organs, allowing them to test new ...

Pathology has long been the cornerstone of cancer diagnosis and treatment. A pathologist carefully examines an ultrathin slice of human tissue under a microscope for clues that indicate the presence, ...

While microplastic pollution continues to advance, research into its possible effects on health remains hampered by technical hurdles. To date, there are no suitable methods for precisely identifying ...

Cognitively normal human brain samples collected at autopsy in early 2024 contained more tiny shards of plastic than samples collected eight years prior, according to a new study. Overall, cadaver ...

New research shows that the concentration of microplastics in our bodies has grown as global plastic production has increased The study looked at brain, liver and kidney tissue from cadavers The ...

Interest in these biospecimens has grown substantially due to their crucial role in advancing biomedical care and facilitating the increasing adoption of precision medicine in clinical practice. 2 ...

Plastic particles smaller than a grain of sand have been found lodged in human brain tissue at concentrations that dwarf those measured in other major organs, and the amounts are climbing. Autopsy ...

Never-before-seen 3D reconstructions of human liver tissue have been created at a cellular level. The details obtained by a team of UW Medicine and University of Washington engineers and physicians ...

Prenatal human skin atlas and organoid will accelerate research into congenital diseases and lead to clinical applications for regenerative medicine. For the first time, researchers have created a ...
