Study finds new gene in progression of Huntington's disease
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
A novel gene has been linked by researchers in Berlin and Dusseldorf to the development of Huntington's disease in a brain organoid model. Earlier than previously believed, the gene may play a role in brain disorders.

Schizophrenia genetic risk factor weakens mitochondrial function: Study
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Researchers have investigated overlapping patterns of altered gene activity in two separate models of the 3q29 deletion syndrome, including human brain organoids and mice with the deletion produced via CRIPSR. Mitochondrial activity has declined in each of these systems.

Researchers find two paths to autism in developing brain
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
According to a new Yale-led study where researchers created brain organoids from the stem cells of boys with the disorder, two distinct neurodevelopmental abnormalities that manifest just weeks after the beginning of brain development have been linked with the emergence of autism spectrum di

Study sheds more light on key link to autism spectrum disorder
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
Mayo Clinic and Yale University scientists determined that the origins of autism spectrum disorder may be related to an imbalance of particular neurons that play a vital role in how the brain communicates and works using human "mini-brain" models known as organoids. The cells in question are

Study finds how human stomach cells help in diabetes treatment
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
A team of researchers revealed that stem cells from the human stomach may be transformed into cells that produce insulin in response to rising blood sugar levels, presenting a promising strategy for treating diabetes

Study reveals how head, neck cancer organoids used for personalized treatm
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
Organoids produced from patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) were used to create a biobank by researchers from the Organoid group (Hubrecht Institute) and UMC Utrecht. They used this biobank to validate known HNC indicators, and they discovered that therapy responses in organoids matched

Researchers develop new approach to customize treatments for various forms
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
A team from UNIGE has created a novel technique for testing various medications without using animals or the body of the patient. Organoids, which are tiny replicas of organs and tissues made from patients exposed to therapies, were used by the researchers

Study creates new human organoid models of fatty liver disease
Updated : 3 years ago IST
The researchers created new human organoid models of fatty liver disease. They used these models to shed light on drug responses and built a CRISPR-screening platform to find new disease mediators and potential therapeutic targets. These models will aid in the testing and development of nove
