Researchers develop 3D organoid model to advance understanding of gastroesophageal junction cancer

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers claim to have created a three-dimensional, lab-grown ‘organoid’ model derived from human tissue and designed to advance understanding of how early stages of cancer develop at the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) – the point where the food pipe of the digestive system meets the stomach. A report on the results of the …

Researchers Create Adrenal Gland Organoids Using Stem Cells | Health

A team has brought stem cells to adopt the characteristics and functions of a human adrenal gland, advances that could lead to new therapies for adrenal insufficiency and a better understanding of the genetics of these disorders. People with adrenal gland disorders, such as primary adrenal insufficiency, in which the gland does not release enough …

Scientists provide measurements for organ development

Organs in the human body have intricate networks of fluid-filled tubes and loops. They come in different shapes and their three-dimensional structures are differently connected to each other, depending on the organ. During the development of an embryo, organs develop their shape and tissue architecture from a single group of cells. Due to a lack …
