Scientists have succeeded in growing functional vocal cord tissue in the laboratory, a major step toward restoring a voice to people who have lost their vocal cords to cancer surgery or other injuries ...

Researchers have successfully transplanted 'organoids' of functioning human intestinal tissue grown from pluripotent stem cells in a lab dish into mice -- creating an unprecedented model for studying ...

A tiny pulsing strip of muscle could help save the lives of 33 million people. That's how many people suffer from atrial fibrillation, the most common type of irregular heartbeat. Scientists have yet ...

Scientists in the University of Wisconsin-Madison have successfully grown functional vocal cord tissue in a laboratory – yes, vocal cords that work. This remarkable new tissue engineering technique ...

The Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory has spun off the first company in its 115-year history, led by lab director Kevin Strange and regenerative biology researcher Voot Yin. Strange told ...

As far back as the 19 th century, the cultivation of cells or tissues extracted from a biopsy was explored in analytical biology. However, zoologists at the time did not have the required laboratory ...

The National Institutes of Health’s hold on acquiring fetal tissue may affect labs conducting cancer research, according to STAT. “If they don’t procure new fetal tissue by, say, end of January, ...

For the first time, scientists havesuccessfully grown vocal cords in the lab, with tests showing theengineered tissue to be functional, with the ability to transmitsound. While the research is just ...

Vocal cords are small and complex — and, when badly damaged, they're difficult to treat. Now, scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have engineered lab-grown vocal cord tissue for the ...
