3D tissue engineering is advancing rapidly, enabling researchers to mimic the complexity of in vivo conditions with 3D in vitro assays. According to Jonathan Garlick, D.D.S, Ph.D., a professor of oral ...

Bioengineers at Queen Mary University of London have taken a significant step forward in the development of laboratory-based models of human tissues that may be used as alternatives to animal testing.

Scientists used patient stem cells and 3D bioprinting to produce eye tissue that will advance understanding of the mechanisms of blinding diseases. The research team printed a combination of cells ...

For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...

Using their novel FRESH 3D bioprinting technique, which allows for printing of soft living cells and tissues, a lab has built a tissue model entirely out of collagen. Collagen is well-known as an ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

Commonly, it involves a computer-assisted motorized device that deposits biocompatible materials, viable cells, growth factors, proteins, nucleic acids, drugs, and supporting components in a ...

For the 300,000 Americans living with the immune disease scleroderma, better treatments can't come soon enough. The rare and sometimes fatal illness stiffens and scars tissue in organs like the lungs, ...

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 ...
