A biomaterial that can mimic certain behaviors within biological tissues could advance regenerative medicine, disease modeling, soft robotics and more, according to researchers at Penn State.
Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers at the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands (TU Delft) have developed ...
The fight against cancer often begins with uncovering hidden players, and a recent study reveals one such key player: an unexpected class of abbreviated N-glycans. These molecules, upregulated in cancer cells, are excreted ...
An international research team led by the University of California, Irvine has discovered a new type of skeletal tissue that offers great potential for advancing regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.
In mechanobiology, cells' forces have been considered fundamental to their enhanced function, including fast migration. But a group of researchers in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis ...
Researchers from the Organoid group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new way to grow organoids. Organoids are tiny organs that are grown in the lab and mimic the original organ. The researchers were able to grow ...
Your body is one of the most complex natural structures ever. Billions of cells are put together in a specific way with the result being you. If you look closely between the cells you'll find the extracellular matrix, a gel-like ...
