The FDA has cracked down on the use of power morcellators in recent years. The devices are used in gynecological and general laparoscopic procedures to break up uterine fibroids and other tissue ...

Researchers have unveiled a breakthrough technology that could transform the way scientists build and study lab-grown brain ...

Researchers have developed a new compact Raman imaging system that is sensitive enough to differentiate between tumor and ...

Using their novel Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels (FRESH) 3D bioprinting technique, which allows for the printing of soft living cells and tissues, Carnegie Mellon's Feinberg lab ...

This new hydrogel system (IT-IC) can protect the gel from destruction by external forces. In conventional covalently crosslinked hydrogels (e.g., methacrylated hyaluronic acid, referred to as MeHA), ...

Adipose tissue is an underappreciated and misunderstood organ. Capable of more than doubling in mass and then returning to baseline, 1 white adipose tissue (WAT) continues to play an essential role in ...

A 3D-bioprinted pancreatic tissue scaffold made from collagen, overlaid with the confocal fluorescence images of the internal vascular network (green) and the expressed insulin (magenta). Collagen is ...

The development of artificial grafts that may recapitulate the tissue microarchitecture is one of the most ambitious and complex approaches to understanding molecular mechanisms in an in vitro ...

Traditional-tissue engineering approaches (Panel A) seed cells onto a three-dimensional biomaterial scaffold that serves as a framework for new tissue development (i). The scaffold degrades as new ...

Connective tissue provides the framework and support for tissues throughout the body, including bones, muscles, blood vessels, and organs. It consists of a variety of proteins, such as collagen and ...
