The shape of biological structures, ranging from flower petals to the limbs or organs of animals, is often naturally best ...

Researchers have developed light-transmitting hydrogel fibers that are just hundreds of micrometers in diameter. With further ...

Pioneer Fellow Hao Liu uses lasers to produce microfilament structures to grow biological tissue in the lab for research and medicine—from muscle tissue to cartilage. Now he's working to ready this ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have successfully 3D printed lifelike human tissue structures that can be used for medical training for surgeons and doctors. The study was ...

Biomedical engineers from the University of Melbourne have invented a 3D printing system, or bioprinter, capable of fabricating structures that closely mimic the diverse tissues in the human body, ...

Gastrulation, the process where an embryo reorganizes itself from a hollow sphere into a multilayered structure, is considered a 'black box' of human development. This is because human embryos are ...

These fields aim to facilitate healing and restore lost function in damaged or diseased tissues and organs by integrating scaffolds, cells, and biological signaling molecules. This combination aims to ...

Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a form of cancer that can affect adults and children. However, it is rare, affecting only about 1% of the population. It is possible to cure STS with early detection and ...
