Researchers at UC Berkeley have built a microfluidic organ-on-a-chip system that compresses roughly 40 years of human aging ...

Microscopic images of human tissue are a cornerstone of biomedical research and clinical diagnostics. Yet despite their importance, these images often remain difficult to analyze systematically and to ...

For decades, lab-grown cells have been studied in materials that don't reflect the softness and flexibility of human tissue. Now researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a ...

Scientists have been fantasizing about the potential of precise 3D bioprinting for years. Just imagine, for example, if doctors could trial therapies on an exact replica of a kidney disease patient’s ...

Scientists are sending stem cells into orbit where the forces of gravity won't interfere with how they cells proliferate and assemble into small organ-like clusters. It's an exciting time for stem ...

The Berlin/Boston-based startup is building vascularised tissue today, with a long-term ambition to manufacture fully ...

The visible effects of ageing on our body are in part linked to invisible changes in gene activity. The epigenetic process of DNA methylation — the addition or removal of tags called methyl groups — ...
