Tears seem simple, but the tiny glands that produce them are among the least understood organs in the human body. By growing miniature human tear glands in the lab and coaxing them to “cry,” ...

Leslie Katz led a team that explored the intersection of tech and culture, plus all manner of awe-inspiring science, from space to AI and archaeology. When she's not smithing words, she's probably ...

Researchers from the lab of Hans Clevers (Hubrecht Institute) and the UMC Utrecht used organoid technology to grow miniature human tear glands that actually cry. The organoids serve as a model to ...

In a new first, scientists have produced lab-grown, working tear glands that can actually produce tears. “Hopefully in the future, this type of organoid may even be transplantable to patients with ...

Miniature organoids that function like human tear glands have been grown in the lab – and they can produce tears. In the future, the organoids could be transplanted into people and used to treat dry ...

The human parathyroid gland, which regulates the level of calcium in the blood, probably evolved from the gills of fish, according to researchers from King's College London. The human parathyroid ...
