A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle ...

A team of engineers and biologists has wired flexible electronics directly into lab-grown pancreatic cell clusters, creating hybrid structures that can be monitored and electrically stimulated for ...

A first-in-human trial shows the feasibility and safety of delivering placenta-derived stem cells during prenatal ...

A chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.

Our immune system relies on T cells to fight infections. But T cells don't just show up and react—first, they train, get a ...

Growing tissues can crack, break, and dissociate to form structures that can later withstand immense forces.

Scientists have engineered a lab-on-a-chip system capable of applying precisely controlled mechanical forces to biological materials that mimic the extracellular matrix.

Dissociating tissues into single cells is a core laboratory technique and vital for widely used applications such as next-generation sequencing or flow cytometry. Scientists who employ tissue ...

Researchers at the Cancer Research Institute and the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, have ...
