Tissues are complex multi-cellular three-dimensional structures with architectures designed to achieve a desired function. Understanding the role of the local tissue architecture is a critical step ...

In 1985, we hypothesized that a living vital organ could be rationally designed and built for human therapy from cells and degradable polymer scaffolding. This was based on only two pieces of previous ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of two-dimensional-ShearWave™ Elastography (2D-SWE) on evaluating the change of tissue structure of penis. Twenty healthy male Sprague Dawley ...

Characteristics of brain complex structure, classification of biomanufacturing methods, key points of functional reconstruction, and application prospects. Brain, the material foundation of human ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Since Robert Hooke’s first description of a cell in Micrographia 350 years ago, microscopy has played an important role in understanding the rules of life. However, the smallest ...

On the surface, plants and animals couldn't be more different. However, as researchers at Worcester Polytechnic University (WPU) have discovered, they also share surprising similarities in their ...

Now, MIT engineers have found that this "intercellular" fluid plays a major role in how tissues respond when squeezed, pressed, or physically deformed. Their findings could help scientists understand ...

The liver produces bile, which the intestine uses for digestion. For the transport of bile, the liver relies on a network of microscopic tubings, known as bile canaliculi, formed by liver cells called ...

(Nanowerk News) Using a novel microscopy technique, MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School researchers have imaged human brain tissue in greater detail than ever before, revealing ...

The human body undergoes a daily replacement of billions of cells, but the tissues remain flawlessly organized. How can that be? Image credit: sdecoret/Shutterstock.com Researchers from the University ...
