Tissues are complex multi-cellular three-dimensional structures with architectures designed to achieve a desired function. Understanding the role of the local tissue architecture is a critical step ...

Researchers have created a complex kidney tissue solely from mouse embryonic stem cells. These organoids could lead the way to better kidney research and, eventually, artificial kidneys for human ...

Smart nanogels powered by enzymes move through dense tissue by adapting to local conditions, offering a safer and more effective alternative for targeted delivery in complex environments. (Nanowerk ...

When it comes to the human body, form and function work together. The shape and structure of our hands enable us to hold and manipulate things. Tiny air sacs in our lungs called alveoli allow for air ...

Single-cell spatial omics is a burgeoning area of research that has been generating incredible excitement in academic, translational and clinical circles. One of the biggest challenges in this area is ...

Two teams of scientists from the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, have won first and second place in NASA’s Vascular Tissue Challenge. The ...

New cell-laden bioink, comprised of tightly-packed, flake-shaped microgels and living cells, the production of cell-rich 4D bioconstructs that can change shape under physiological conditions. Where ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan and Brown University have developed a new computational method to analyze complex tissue data that could transform our current understanding of diseases and ...

Initially utilized in the biomedical sector for crafting pre-surgical visualization models and molds for tools, 3DP has evolved to enable the production of tissue engineering scaffolds, tissue analogs ...

Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered by the high density of their ...
