Until now, conventional 3D cell cultures have often been either too rigid or too unstable to realistically reproduce the complex interactions between brain cells. Researchers at Kiel University (CAU) ...

Engineered tissue could eventually be used for children born with gaps in their alimentary canal, or for adults whose muscles ...

What are Tissue Engineering Scaffolds? Tissue engineering scaffolds are three-dimensional structures designed to support cell growth, migration, and differentiation for the regeneration of damaged or ...

Traumatic muscle injury can be associated with volumetric muscle loss (VML), often leading to permanent functional loss.

Scientists from Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and University College London (UCL) have created the first lab‑grown esophagus—the food pipe—shown to safely replace a full section of the organ and ...

Boise State University researchers have developed a new technique and platform to communicate with cells and help drive them towards cartilage formation. Their work leverages a 3-dimensional ...

Bladder tissue was successfully grown from baboon bone marrow. It was kept functional for two years. This success is promising for success with human tissue over the next few years. Scientists from ...

Engineers at the University of Toronto just made assembling functional heart tissue as easy as fastening your shoes. The team has created a biocompatible scaffold that allows sheets of beating heart ...
