Epigenetics and Stem Biology

Increasingly complex synthetic tissues serving as in vitro models of human disease will be used to support research on disease mechanisms. Biomedical research relies heavily on small-animal models. Organ typic models, which have been developed for a range of tissues such as the skin, liver, stomach, kidney, and lung, have a realistic micro-anatomy, imitate organ function, and provide insight into cell-to-cell interactions.
