Researchers at UC Berkeley have built a microfluidic organ-on-a-chip system that compresses roughly 40 years of human aging into just four days. The device, which pairs miniature models of fat and ...

A new study reveals the human brain is composed of two independently evolved organs, enabling the first lab-grown human hindbrain neurons.

Cancer becomes far more dangerous when it stops being confined to one place.

For centuries, scientists have thought of the brain as a single, unified organ. But new research led by Stanford Medicine ...

Scientists from Stanford University in a recent breakthrough have discovered new clues related to the brain's evolutionary origins. According to findings published in Nature Neuroscience, the ...
