With the aid of physical forces—in this case, sound—it is possible to actively steer the formation of engineered tissue. For ...

Why does the immune system become less effective as we age? A new USC study published in BMC Biology offers fresh insights by ...

Research has shed intriguing new light on the genetics underlying the diverse plant organ shapes seen in agriculture and ...

Modern humans have existed for more than 200,000 years, and each new generation has begun with a single cell—dividing, changing shape and function, organizing into tissues, organs, and limbs. With ...

Jacqueline Tabler discusses the role of connective tissues, highlighting the complex relationship between genetics, ...

Why does the immune system become less effective as we age? A new USC study published in BMC Biology offers fresh insights by ...

One immune cell may help slow aging by restoring the body's natural cellular cleanup process, according to a new study.

Researchers have developed a method to direct stem cells to form specific structures. By triggering the expression of specific genes in mouse embryonic stem cells, synthetic organizer cells were ...

Tissue processing advance can label proteins at the level of individual cells across whole, intact rodent brains and other large samples just as fast and uniformly as in dissociated single cells. A ...

The demand for tissue and organ replacement following tissue damage (eg, severe burns) or diseases (eg, cardiomyopathy) is expanding, and, while the number of patients suffering from organ failure is ...
