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

Researchers have used human neural stem cells to 3D print functional brain tissue that mimics the architecture of the cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost layer. The breakthrough technique has the ...

To the editor: As reported by Steve Ertelt in Infonet news, a researcher at the University of Minnesota has discovered what is being called the "ultimate stem cell." The cells, which are found in ...

When we think of death, we imagine a final, irreversible end. But what if death is not as absolute as it seems? What if some parts of us — our cells, our tissues — continue to fight for survival, even ...

Researchers have resolved a 50-year-old scientific mystery by identifying the molecular mechanism that allows tissues to ...

A newly discovered cell that matures into two specialist cell types – an immune cell responsible for tissue repair and a cell that forms blood vessels – significantly boosts wound healing, according ...

Immune responses rely on the efficient movement of immune cells within the complex and geometrically unpredictable three-dimensional tissues that make up our bodies. Recent research by the Sixt group ...

BOSTON - Some surprisingly versatile bone marrow cells can transform themselves into building blocks of lungs, intestines, skin and probably most other parts of the body, raising the possibility of a ...

Chronic stress has been shown to contribute to the development of cancer cells. Here's what doctors recommend to reduce it. Stress is a part of everyday life, and learning to manage it is important.

On a rush-hour train or a crowded flight, you might draw your limbs in close, shrinking as people fill the space. As it turns out, living cells behave similarly in confinement, adjusting their size ...
