Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

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 ...

My journey into medicine started when I lost my grandpa to cancer. I remember him dropping me off at my sixth-grade classroom in the morning, and by the time I got home, he was gone. I bought an ...

Scientists have created the first bioengineered bone marrow model that can support the type of human stem cells that are crucial for bone marrow transplants and in vitro study work. LT-HSCs are vital ...
