Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered how tiny particles released by a special type of immune cell can ...

Engineered human cardiac tissues have been utilized for various biomedical applications, including drug testing, disease modeling, and regenerative medicine. However, the applications of cardiac ...

End-stage organ failure requires the transplantation of a new organ. However, the number of patients awaiting donor organs exceeds the number of available organs. To address this organ shortage, solid ...

A new, easily adopted, 3D-printed device will enable scientists to create models of human tissue with even greater control and complexity. An interdisciplinary group of researchers at the University ...

About 25 million people in the U.S.—roughly eight out of 100—are diagnosed with asthma. Allergens, air pollution, extreme ...

The Suspended Tissue Open Microfluidic Patterning, or STOMP device, is small enough to fit on a fingertip, and is expected to advance human tissue modeling for research on a variety of complex ...

A research lab at the University of Caen Normandy (France) has succeeded in making cartilage using decellularized apples. The Bioconnect laboratory at the university, which I head, has just published ...

Nature has found many ways to build lungs, finds Princeton engineering professor Celeste Nelson. Pictured is a chicken lung in development. Image by Bezia Lemma, Princeton University postdoctoral ...

For decades, lab-grown cells have been studied in materials that don’t reflect the softness and flexibility of human tissue. Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a ...

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 ...
