The choroid plexus (ChP) is a secretory tissue found in each of the brain ventricles, the main function of which is to produce cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Although the ChP–CSF system is essential for ...

Bioengineers have created miniature intestines in a dish that match up anatomically and functionally to the real thing better than any other lab-grown tissue models. The biological complexity and ...

A collaborative research team has developed the world's first AI-based optical diagnostic platform that enables rapid and accurate differentiation—within minutes—between ordinary nasal secretion and ...

Newly identified networks of interconnected, fluid-filled chambers that line tissues throughout the human body may qualify as a completely new organ, researchers report in a study published Tuesday in ...

Yawning reverses cerebrospinal fluid flow, boosts brain blood surge, and may aid cooling and waste movement, challenging the idea that it signals boredom alone.
