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

In this piece, I highlight one particular talk that caught my interest — given by Elana Fertig, Dean E. Albert Reece Endowed Professor of Medicine at the University of Maryland. Fertig’s talk centered ...

Adipose tissue is increasingly recognised not merely as an inert energy reservoir but as a dynamic endocrine organ intricately involved in whole‐body metabolic regulation. Both white and brown ...

Spatial biology has rapidly reshaped tissue analysis, but most methods still rely on thin two-dimensional (2D) slices, giving fragmented glimpses of complex tissue structures. As spatial ...

Every day, your body replaces billions of cells – and yet, your tissues stay perfectly organized. How is that possible? A team of researchers at ChristianaCare’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & ...

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

Every day, your body replaces billions of cells-and yet, your tissues stay perfectly organized. How is that possible? A team of researchers at ChristianaCare's Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research ...

Cell and tissue biology is currently in an exciting era. Techniques for analyzing cells, such as spatial biology, live-cell imaging and single-cell sequencing are advancing at a dramatic pace, ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

Researchers have developed a method to direct stem cells to form specific structures. By triggering the expression of specific genes in mouse embryonic stem cells, synthetic organizer cells were ...
