Researchers discovered that epithelial cells use electricity to expel weak, energy-poor neighbors and maintain tissue health.

The field of tissue engineering aims to replicate the structure and function of real biological tissues. This engineered tissue has potential applications in disease modeling, drug discovery, and ...

Researchers have developed a tiny nanolaser that can function inside of living tissues without harming them. Researchers have developed a tiny nanolaser that can function inside of living tissues ...

A study has reached a major milestone in establishing a baseline understanding of gene expression across healthy human tissues, and linking genes to disease. Our genomes help to determine who we are - ...

These tiny polymer scaffolds contain channels that are about 100 micrometres wide, about the same diameter as a human hair. Toronto: Taking tissue engineering to a whole new level researchers have ...

Organoids are fast-becoming one of the most cutting-edge tools of modern life sciences. The idea is to use stem cells to build miniature tissues and organs that accurately resemble and behave like ...

Our genomes help to determine who we are — the countless variations between individuals that encode the complexity of tissues and functions throughout the body. Since scientists first decoded a draft ...
