In 1985, we hypothesized that a living vital organ could be rationally designed and built for human therapy from cells and degradable polymer scaffolding. This was based on only two pieces of previous ...

Tissues are complex multi-cellular three-dimensional structures with architectures designed to achieve a desired function. Understanding the role of the local tissue architecture is a critical step ...

Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the first time, scientists have produced detailed maps of these fiber webs across ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Studies have suggested a link between fitness and memory, but researchers have struggled to find the mechanism that links them. A new study by University of Illinois researchers ...

In tissue engineering, the scaffold material must eventually degrade leaving behind only regenerated tissue. For hydrogels that serve as cell encapsulation platforms, hydrogel degradation must closely ...

In this new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, authors Wei Gao, Hongxiang Hu, Lipeng Dai and colleagues from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA and Bristol Myers Squibb, ...

Now, MIT engineers have found that this "intercellular" fluid plays a major role in how tissues respond when squeezed, pressed, or physically deformed. Their findings could help scientists understand ...

A group of scientists from Harvard University have observed and reconstructed the human brain at the resolution of the electron microscope, with all its cells, following all the connections between ...

Cardiac muscle tissue is only found in your heart. It performs involuntary, coordinated contractions that allow your heart to pump blood through your circulatory system. Cardiac muscle tissue is one ...
