University researchers have developed a new connective tissue model to study disorders like fibrosis, a type of scarring that occurs when damage to the body causes normal tissue to be replaced by hard ...

Researchers explore how human tissue models can be used to examine the impact of heart attacks and treatment of the fibrotic tissue outside the body, improving treatment and diagnosis. They use ...

In this Innovation Spotlight, Treutlein shares her excitement of using organoids to model the human brain, harnessing AI to accelerate laboratory discoveries, and discusses how massive-scale ...

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 ...

Imagine cells navigating through a complex maze, guided by chemical signals and the physical landscape of their environment. A team of researchers at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC ...

Wound healing is a response to tissue damage that relies on a complex series of signaling events. Cells such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), keratinocytes, and fibroblasts orchestrate the molecular ...

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 ...

A new paper in Biology Methods and Protocols, published by Oxford University Press, shows that scientists can train artificial intelligence models to distinguish brain tumors from healthy tissue. AI ...
