Restricting Fetal Tissue Research Threatens Medical Breakthroughs
Why Fetal Tissue Research Has Shaped Medical Progress Across decades, human fetal tissue research (HFT) has contributed to advances in vaccines, therapies, and our understanding of complex diseases. Scientists often rely on carefully regulated HFT studies to model human biology in ways that animal models cannot fully replicate. The result has been important insights into…

Why Restrictions on Fetal Tissue Research Jeopardize Medical Breakthroughs
Fetal tissue research is a cornerstone of medical progress Advances in medicine often rely on materials and models that illuminate how human biology works in health and disease. Human fetal tissue (HFT) research has historically played a pivotal role in understanding immune responses, neuronal development, and the biology of several devastating diseases. When researchers study…

Next‑gen imaging promises sharper, deeper views of living tissues
A bold step toward noninvasive, high‑resolution tissue imaging A University of Arizona research team is advancing a transformative approach to viewing living tissues noninvasively. With nearly $2.7 million from the NIH Common Fund Venture Program, the interdisciplinary effort aims to push the boundaries of optical imaging so clinicians can see deeper into skin and soft…
