Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell ...

Every day, your body replaces billions of cells – and yet, your tissues stay perfectly organized. How is that possible? A team of researchers at ChristianaCare’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & ...

UCR scientists create a fully synthetic model for growing brain cells that could allow for animal-free drug testing.

Investigators at the Brigham and the Broad Institute have created specialized, tissue-like structures in the laboratory to model barrier tissues, such as the intestines, to identify new targets for ...

"It's been hard for the neuroscience community to take a step back from this old school interpretation that the brain is this ...

Understanding why treatments for juvenile idiopathic arthritis affect children differently has never been well understood – ...

Understanding how bone marrow produces blood–and how this whole process can fail–is critical to fighting blood cancers and ...

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 ...

Scientists have created a bioengineered 3-D model that mimics the biology of two rare diseases. The researchers used the 'tissue chip' model to show how a drug could potentially treat the diseases, ...
