Within minutes of the final heartbeat, a cascade of biochemical events triggered by a lack of blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients begins to destroy a body's cells and organs. A team of scientists has ...

The human body is a wonderful biological work of art, composed of a great many organs, each carrying out special functions that are part of life and well-being. Though the human body contains about 78 ...

New Haven, Conn. — Within minutes of the final heartbeat, a cascade of biochemical events triggered by a lack of blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients begins to destroy a body’s cells and organs. But a ...

What is an Organ-on-a-Chip? An organ-on-a-chip is a microfluidic device that simulates the key functions and physiological responses of a specific human organ or organ system on a miniaturized scale.

Scientists have demonstrated a new system that can restore crucial molecular and cellular functions in pigs one hour after death. Experiments showed that some tissue damage from loss of oxygen can be ...

Researchers have developed a new "body clock" tool that calculates people’s biological age — and could even predict the risk of disability or death. The tool, which comes from the University of ...
