Biological tissues have a remarkable ability to organize and change shape, driven by forces generated by their own cells. One of the major challenges in bioengineering is harnessing this natural ...

Organoids are 3D cultures that mimic organ structure and function, derived from embryonic, adult, or iPSCs cells.

Doctors and scientists have long relied on microscopes to study human tissue and diagnose disease. But today's medical research produces far more information than the human eye alone can handle, ...

Every year, millions of lives are suddenly, swiftly transformed by a stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel travelling towards the brain becomes obstructed, causing neurons to die off. Strokes are ...

Current cell therapies like CAR-T cells lack the precision to distinguish between healthy and diseased tissue, leading to limited effectiveness and potential side effects. One of the most significant ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto's Institute of Biomedical Engineering have developed a new method to mature ...

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 ...
