Research led by the National Institute of Biological Sciences in Beijing has discovered that switching on a single dormant gene enables mice to regenerate ear tissue. /news/2025-06-silent-gene-revives-tissue-regeneration.html Biotechnology Molecular & Computational biology Mon, 30 Jun 2025 11:50:07 EDT news670502862 Published in Advanced Functional Materials, a University of Sydney team of biomedical engineers has developed a plasma technology to robustly attach hydrogels—a jelly-like substance which is structurally similar to soft tissue in the human body—to polymeric materials, allowing manufactured devices to better interact with surrounding tissue. /news/2020-08-hydrogel-paves-biomedical-breakthrough.html Materials Science Mon, 03 Aug 2020 16:00:02 EDT news515669062 A team of researchers with members from several institutions in China, one in the U.S. and one in Belgium, has developed a method for 3-D printing an ear inside of the body. In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, the group describes their method and how well it worked on test mice. /news/2020-06-near-infrared-d-ear-body.html Polymers Materials Science Mon, 08 Jun 2020 08:46:19 EDT news510824766 In an aging population, the social impact of osteoarthritis (OA) can dramatically increase to become the most common musculoskeletal disease. However, at present, therapies are limited to palliative treatments or surgical intervention alone, since disease-modifying OA (DMOA) drugs are scarce, primarily due to the absence of relevant preclinical models of the disease. As a result, tissue engineers and materials scientists aim to develop in vitro models for reliably predicting the efficacy of the requisite DMOA drugs. /news/2019-06-osteoarthritic-oa-phenotype-cartilage-on-a-chip-coc.html Biotechnology Mon, 17 Jun 2019 09:30:01 EDT news479976329 (Â鶹ÒùÔºOrg.com) -- A new method for creating nanofibers made of proteins, developed by researchers at Polytechnic Institute of New York University (NYU-Poly), promises to greatly improve drug delivery methods for the treatment of cancers, heart disorders and Alzheimer's disease, as well as aid in the regeneration of human tissue, bone and cartilage. /news/2012-02-nanofiber-breakthrough-medicine-microprocessors.html Nanomaterials Wed, 29 Feb 2012 10:53:58 EST news249735214 A ghostly, mutant ratfish caught off Whidbey Island in Washington state is the only completely albino fish ever seen by both the curator of the University of Washington's 7.2 million-specimen fish collection and a fish and wildlife biologist with more than 20 years of sampling fish in Puget Sound. /news/2007-09-rare-albino-ratfish-eerie-silvery.html Mon, 24 Sep 2007 14:53:46 EDT news109864426
