But perhaps most exciting, many researchers say, is their ability to model diseases in new ways. (sciencemag.org)
He sees the day when his simulations could be modified to model disease transmission through casual contact, shopping on a crowded street, or pedestrian safety at a traffic intersection. (discovermagazine.com)
For example, the same cellular signals that guide early heart development can be used to direct stem cells to become the different heart cell types needed for modeling disease in a dish. (gladstone.org)
