Scientists have developed a synthetic tissue that repairs injuries and restores normal erectile function in a pig model, in a study publishing January 4 in the journal Matter. The findings suggest ...

Researchers at the University of Liège have identified a key genetic regulator that enables macrophages to reach full ...

How different cells organize themselves, within a tissue, to support tissue functions remains poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed an AI-powered algorithm to help understand how cells ...

A single genetic “switch” may be the secret to how the body’s cleanup crew grows up and keeps our organs running smoothly.

Never-before-seen 3D reconstructions of human liver tissue have been created at a cellular level. The details obtained by a team of UW Medicine and University of Washington engineers and physicians ...

As many as 40% of Americans are obese, putting them at an increased risk for high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, heart disease and certain cancers, according to the CDC. New research from the ...

Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from engineering, biology, and materials science to develop biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue ...

Heart rates are easier to monitor today than ever before. Thanks to smartwatches that can sense a pulse, all it takes is a quick flip of the wrist to check your heart. But monitoring the cells ...

Researchers have resolved a 50-year-old scientific mystery by identifying the molecular mechanism that allows tissues to ...

Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial hand that can grip and make gestures. The breakthrough shows the way forward ...
