It infects nearly one-third of the global population, yet its microscopic size makes the Toxoplasma gondii parasite difficult ...

Scientists have successfully connected living human brain cells to a computer system and taught them to interact with the classic video game DOOM. The strange experiment marks a new step toward ...

Melbourne startup Cortical Labs uses 200,000 human brain cells in a petri dish to play Doom by translating game data into ...

Neuron-powered computer chips can now be easily programmed to play a first-person shooter game, bringing biological computers ...

Japan has cleared two therapies that began with the same lab technique and ended in very different parts of the body. One is ...

Miniature organs have a new lifeline. Mimicking the way early human embryos grow blood vessels, scientists nudged multiple types of mini organs to sprout their own vascular networks. Also called ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, ...

For decades, lab-grown cells have been studied in materials that don't reflect the softness and flexibility of human tissue.
