Scientists have developed a specially formulated bioink, which contains microparticles engineered for sustained delivery of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). This delivery enhances the formation ...

Researchers have developed a novel bioink that uses a sustained-release hormone to promote the growth and regeneration of 3D-printed muscle tissues. Their approach opens the door to developing new ...

A team of chemists and bioengineers at Rice University and the University of Houston have achieved a significant milestone in their work to create a biomaterial that can be used to grow biological ...

Sometimes nature provides the best blueprints for building effective robots. It also can provide the best material. Billions of years of natural selection has built some pretty impressive machinery, ...

Researchers have made significant strides in biomaterial technology and rehabilitation medicine. They've developed a novel approach to healing muscle injury by employing 'injectable tissue prosthesis' ...

Structural alignment in fibrous tissues like myocardium and tendons is a key biomarker of physiological integrity and ...

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 forward ...

A new tool aligns spatial genomic and histology data from tissue samples virtually, creating a 3D atlas from 2D slices. Using 2D tissue slices to decipher features of a 3D tissue is computationally ...

From the moment we hit our early thirties, our bodies begin a subtle transformation that intensifies as we enter our senior years. This natural process, medically termed sarcopenia, involves the ...
