After certain kinds of injuries or wounds — think heart attacks, burns and tendon tears, among others — scar tissue can form ...

Plants have an extraordinary ability to sense tissue damage and quickly rebuild their protective outer layers, a process ...

S&T researchers develop new method for 3D printing tissue, with potential to speed up and simplify the process of making ...

3D bioprinting combines cells, growth factors, and biomaterials to fabricate biomedical parts. The process requires special “bio-inks,” often made of materials like alginate or gelatin. A key goal is ...

ABSTRACT: Computed tomography (CT) imaging plays a critical role in diagnostic radiology, so they require pediatric or adult phantoms with high tissue equivalent material for accurate imaging, ...

In the first months of his administration, President Donald Trump repeatedly threatened due process, a fundamental principle enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. His attacks have spanned from the ...

If you've ever experienced debilitating knee pain that prevented you from walking or moving, you understand the importance of healthy knees. The knee is a hinge joint, made up of complex structures ...

This mitochondrial process supports the brain cells essential to learning, memory and social recognition. We know that mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, but what role do they play in ...

Spatial maps of various tissues and organs in aging mice have revealed new insights into the aging process. Aging is a process common to many animals; however, the complexity of aging means that there ...

Biomedical engineers have invented a 3D printing system, or bioprinter, capable of fabricating structures that closely mimic the diverse tissues in the human body, from soft brain tissue to harder ...
