Organoids: Mini-Organs Pave the Way for Personalized Medicine Trials

In the United States, over 650,000 new infections from thermally dimorphic fungi happen every year. These fungi change shape with the temperature and cause serious diseases. But, a new hope comes from organoids. They are tiny, self-organizing structures that act like real tissues. Organoids are changing personalized medicine. They offer a way to test drugs and treatments in a lab. By using these models, scientists…

The Human Cell Atlas: AI-Powered Mapping Accelerates Medical Research

Did you know the Human Cell Atlas project plans to gather over 1,000 blood samples from kids with healthy and sick immune systems? This huge project, backed by $7 million, aims to change how we see the human immune system. It uses advanced single-cell sequencing technology and AI to do it. This project brings together top institutions worldwide, like Children’s Health Queensland and the Australian…
