Synthetic organelle shows how tiny puddle-organs in our cells work

21 Sep 2018 2:51 AM by Bhupendra Singh Chundawat

A couple of sugars, a dash of enzymes, a pinch of salt, a splash of polyethylene glycol, carefully arranged in watery baths. And researchers had made a synthetic organelle, which they used in a new study to explore some odd cellular biochemistry. The researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology made the chemical medley in … Read more

Novel robotic system can grow mini human organs

21 May 2018 11:47 AM by Bhupendra Singh Chundawat

The traditional way to grow cells for biomedical research is to culture them as flat, two-dimensional sheets, which are overly simplistic. In recent years, researchers have been increasingly successful in growing stem cells into more complex, 3D structures called mini-organs or organoids. These resemble rudimentary organs and in many ways behave similarly. While these properties … Read more
