and it was further hypothesised that the contraction of the coronal muscles of the soft tissue and the expansion of the mesoglea layer guided the opening of the periderm, thereby facilitating animal ...

Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial hand that can grip and make gestures. The breakthrough shows the way ...

Scar tissue forms when a wound heals but is different from skin tissue. For example, it is less elastic, leading to tightness, limited movement, and pain. Exercise, moisturizing, and other home ...

Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a type of cancerous tumor that can grow in the body’s soft tissues. If it occurs in the thigh, it may feel like a person has a lump in their thigh, though symptoms ...

The overall armor that plants build is called the periderm. The scientists studied it using single-cell sequencing techniques and "debuted the first comprehensive gene expression atlas." "Collecting ...

This important study advances our understanding of early Cambrian cnidarian paleoecology and suggests that the reconstructed ancestral feeding and respiration mechanisms predate jet-propelled swimming ...

Technological advances in materials science and engineering (MSE) are transforming our lives in a range of areas, from targeted drug delivery and disease detection, to tissue engineered scaffolds.
