Human mini-lungs mimic animal response to nanomaterials

Human mini-lungs grown by University of Manchester scientists can mimic the response of animals when exposed to certain nanomaterials. The study at the University’s NanoCell Biology Lab at the Centre for Nanotechnology in Medicine is published in the influential journal Nano Today. Though not expected to replace animal models completely, human organoids could soon lead to […]

New research identifies potential drug target to prevent kidney failure

A new study found that retinoic acid receptors (RARa) in the proximal tubules of the kidney play a crucial role in limiting the damaging effects of kidney injury that often lead to kidney failure. Researchers from Weill Cornell Medicine have developed a preclinical model that showed a condition like chronic kidney disease develops when RARa […]

HDAC inhibitors may offer new strategy for reversing fibrotic wall around pancreatic tumors

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers-;only about one in eight patients survives five years after diagnosis. Those dismal statistics are in part due to the thick, nearly impenetrable wall of fibrosis, or scar tissue, that surrounds most pancreatic tumors and makes it hard for drugs to access and destroy the cancer cells. Now, […]

Yale researchers create “humanized” liver in living mice to study chronic liver diseases

Yale researchers have created a functional “humanized” liver in living mice that will help scientists find human-specific mechanisms for regulating cholesterol levels and potentially for treating chronic liver diseases afflicting tens of millions of people in the United States. The findings are published Aug. 9 in the journal Cell. Chronic liver diseases such as alcoholic […]

Extracellular vesicles may drive fibrosis in scleroderma

Extracellular vesicles, responsible for cell-to-cell communication, might be a driver of fibrosis in systemic sclerosis, according to a recent paper in Arthritis and Rheumatology. Characterized by stiff and hardening tissue known as fibrosis, systemic sclerosis – also known as scleroderma – can affect the skin as well as other organs. Most research has focused on […]
