For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...

A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be ...

3D surface of the fruit fly wing disc before (left) and after (right) eversion. Highlighted in blue is the pouch region, which transforms from a radially symmetric dome into a curved fold by ...

A multi-tissue proteomic atlas uncovers the shared and distinct molecular signatures of metabolic flexibility induced by intermittent fasting.

Scientists from Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and Northwestern University report they have succeeded in regenerating fully ...

Tissue optical clearing is a fundamental technique that enhances light penetration deep into biological samples by reducing light scattering through refractive index homogenization. This process ...

The heart is a powerful but delicate organ: after a heart attack, damaged tissue loses its ability to contract effectively and to conduct electrical impulses that help it beat, potentially leading to ...
