Miniaturized Human Heart On A Chip Offers Promise For Safer Cancer Treatments
The groundbreaking technology addresses a critical concern in cancer therapy. Many effective cancer drugs carry the potential side effect of heart damage.

First Serotonin Neurons Made From Human Stem Cells
For the first time, researchers have used stem cells to create a specialised nerve cell that makes serotonin, a signalling chemical with a broad role in the brain.
