Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with their environment. Maintaining their functionality requires dynamic balance (homeostasis) and that their cell numbers are tightly regulated. This is ...

“TY1 is the first exomer – a new class of drugs that address tissue damage in unexpected ways.” TY1 has the structure of existing RNA drugs, and works like its natural version – amplifying the ...

Scientists in Melbourne have discovered how tiny electrical pulses can steer stem cells as they grow, opening the door to new improved ways of creating new tissues, organs, nerves and bones. Dr. Amy ...

You may not be able to grow bigger muscles out of thin air, but you can 3D print them in microgravity, scientists at ETH Zurich have now established. "3D printing" refers to a type of manufacturing ...

Ion channels are integral membrane proteins that regulate the passage of ions across cell membranes, thereby shaping processes as diverse as neuronal signaling, muscle contraction, and hormone ...

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 ...

Open annotations (there are currently 0 annotations on this page). One of the main causes of epilepsy in adults – particularly in developing countries – is a parasitic brain infection called ...

The intricacies of excitable tissues, including cardiac, nervous, and skeletal muscle systems, pose substantial challenges in creating artificial analogs that can replicate their bioelectrical, ...

Engineers at the University of Pittsburgh are working to develop 3D-printed organic tissue models that mimic the behavior of living organs. Online cover of Science Advances, April issue. A ...
