A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be ...

Neural tissue normally dies quickly without oxygen. Yet bird retinas—among the most energy-demanding tissues in the animal kingdom—function permanently without it. This may be relevant in future ...

Researchers have long faced a blunt limitation in biology. They could delete proteins or switch genes off, but they could not finely tune how much of a protein existed in specific tissues over an ...

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 ...

Biomedical engineers are now able to take a live, holistic look at the inner workings of a small animal with enough resolution to see active organs, flowing blood, circulating melanoma cells and ...

In the laboratories of 3D Biotechnology Solutions (3DBS), a startup incubated at the Mandic Hub in Campinas, São Paulo state, Brazil, solutions are being developed for the biofabrication of human and ...

After a major cardiac event, the heart can’t repair itself, leaving permanent damage that increases the risk of future troubles. Now, scientists at Texas Heart Institute believe they may have found a ...

3D surface of the fruit fly wing disc before (left) and after (right) eversion. Highlighted in blue is the pouch region, which transforms from a radially symmetric dome into a curved fold by ...
