A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be ...

Animals display an extraordinary array of structural adaptations that are intimately linked to their functional capacities. From the microscopic organisation of tissues and cells to the macroscopic ...

Lead investor Khosla Ventures backs Prellis’ mission to create viable human tissue and organs for transplant SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Prellis Biologics today announced that Khosla Ventures has ...

Knowing how cell structure and tissue can be disrupted mechanically may provide clues into defective wound healing and the development and progression of disease. Researchers have found that changing ...

Tissue optical clearing is a fundamental technique that enhances light penetration deep into biological samples by reducing light scattering through refractive index homogenization. This process ...

The Cyclostomata is an ancient group of aquatic colonial suspension-feeders from the phylum Bryozoa. The fact that they have unique placentae has been discovered by researchers at St Petersburg ...

Animal testing could slowly be replaced with experiments using artificial tissue thanks to groundbreaking work using lasers done by the Vienna Technical University (TU Wien) in Austria. The idea ...

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 ...
