As a fetus develops, its body is bathed in amniotic fluid: a warm, salty soup of nutrients, hormones, and antibodies produced by its mother. And into that fluid, a fetus is constantly sloughing off or ...

Amniotic fluid is chock full of dead cells. And although the cells, which are shed from the developing fetus, have been used in prenatal diagnostics for over four decades, the composition of the tiny ...

The interest in the use of organoids to model human development in health and disease is at an all-time high. Recently, a team from the U.K. demonstrated that progenitor cells from amniotic fluid, ...

In the last decade or so, organoids have taken the scientific world by storm. From mini-brains to hearts and even boobs, these miniature, simplified versions of human body parts are expanding our ...

These images use color markers—blue for nuclei, red for cell membranes, and green for fluid—to show that spaces between cells shrink as fluid moves out during tissue compression, from left to right ...
