New source of cells for modeling malaria
Liver cells derived from stem cells can be infected with malaria and used to test potential drugs.
New way to target an old foe: malaria
Engineered liver tissue developed at MIT could help scientists test new drugs and vaccines.
A step closer to artificial livers
Researchers identify compounds that help liver cells grow outside the body.
Tissue engineering: Growing new organs, and more
Research could lead to better ways to heal injuries and develop new drugs.
Researchers achieve RNA interference, in a lighter package
Pared-down nucleic acid nanoparticle poses less risk of side effects, offers better targeting.
Stem cells could drive hepatitis research forward
By creating liver-like cells, scientists can study why people respond differently to the disease.
