The study shows that fat tissue, when processed and cultured in a specific way, can self-organize into structures resembling ...

Researchers have uncovered how different types of brain cells work together to form large-scale functional networks in the human brain -- interconnected systems that support everything from sensory ...

Assembloids: A Versatile Platform for Human Tissue Modeling. This schematic illustrates the classification of assembloids based on four key assembly strategies—multi-region, multi-lineage, ...

Researchers identified some 3,300 types of brain cells, an order of magnitude more than was previously known, and have only a dim notion of what most of them do. By Carl Zimmer An international team ...

The average adult male has around 36 trillion cells in their body, while average adult females have 28 trillion, researchers have found. Unexpectedly, the mass of small cells in our bodies, such as ...

3D bioprinting combines cells, growth factors, and biomaterials to fabricate biomedical parts. The process requires special “bio-inks,” often made of materials like alginate or gelatin. A key goal is ...

In 2020 biologist Michael Levin and his colleagues reported that they had made “biological robots” by shaping clusters of cells into tiny artificial forms that could “walk” around on surfaces. Levin’s ...

It’s no secret that smoking is extremely detrimental to health. Tobacco smoke contains thousands of chemicals, including carcinogens, increasing the risk of cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory ...

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 ...
