A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams from the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology ...

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 ...

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) begin to accumulate in the tissues of mammals already during the fetal stage, according to new research from the University of Oulu, Finland. The animal-model ...

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 ...

Cattle, domesticated over 10,000 years ago 1, have a crucial role in converting indigestible fiber feed into protein-rich food for humans, such as beef and milk, which are essential for human ...

Cardiovascular researchers at UC Davis Health have developed a novel technique that allows scientists to study how the brain communicates with other organs, like the heart or gut. The new method ...

Five animal species can rebuild organs, limbs, and tissues that most vertebrates permanently lose after injury. Planarians regrow entire bodies from tiny fragments using adult pluripotent stem cells ...

Full-body defense does not always look the way textbooks say it should. In planarian flatworms, a newly identified cell type ...

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 ...
