A novel bioengineered human skeletal muscle model with accurate physiological and pharmacological responses may provide a useful tool for preclinical testing.

Personalized heart muscle cells made from stem cells in the laboratory could be used to check an individual’s response to potential new drugs before clinical trials.

Strategies to improve public trust in biomedical research are being hindered by a scientific mindset that stifles interest in reform.

Analysis of data on drug-gene interactions suggests that decentralized collaboration will increase the robustness of scientific findings in biomedical research.

The same genes and signaling pathways control the formation of limbs in vertebrates, arthropods and cuttlefish.
