Method for growing kidney organoids under flow enhances their vascularization and maturation, increasing their potential for drug testing and regenerative medicine A research team has now removed a major barrier for the use of kidney organoids as a tool to model kidney diseases, test drug toxicities and eventually for the creation of organ replacements, the … More Engineered miniature kidneys come of age
The key to breeding disease-resistant honeybees could lie in a group of genes — known for controlling hygienic behavior — that enable colonies to limit the spread of harmful mites and bacteria, according to genomics research. The researchers narrowed in on the ‘clean’ genes known to improve the colony’s chance of survival. The key to … More Biologists identify honeybee ‘clean’ genes known for improving survival
Understanding the relationship between microbes and viruses is beneficial not only for medical research and practical applications but also in marine biology, say researchers. Viruses don’t always kill their microbial hosts. In many cases, they develop a mutually beneficial relationship: the virus establishes itself inside the microbe and, in return, grants its host with immunity … More Virus-infected bacteria could provide help in the fight against climate change
