Never-before-seen 3D reconstructions of human liver tissue have been created at a cellular level. The details obtained by a team of UW Medicine and University of Washington engineers and physicians ...

Scientists have discovered a new way to make a soft, stretchy plastic that can carry electricity efficiently—an advance that could help improve devices implanted in the human body, such as pacemakers, ...

Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the first time, scientists have produced detailed maps of these fiber webs across ...

Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue works on 2P-FOCUS, a new two-photon microscopy system, in her lab. The system promises novel insights into biological features that were once only ...

Researchers at Niigata University used advanced three-dimensional imaging to reveal how amyloid β deposits spread along blood vessels in the human brain in cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). Analysis ...

An international research team has gained new insights into the dynamics of myelin swellings in the brain. Myelin swellings are considered as the precursor of lesions in the brain of people with ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu Scientists are detecting nanoplastics in human brain tissue and exploring how these particles may influence the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, but major questions about ...

Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are everywhere—from the air we breathe to the food we eat—but their impact on human health is not entirely clear. While cell culture and animal studies hint at potential ...

A 'deep learning' artificial intelligence model can identify pathology, or signs of disease, in images of animal and human tissue much faster, and often more accurately, than people. The development ...
