Researchers in Sweden have engineered a cell-free cartilage scaffold that can guide the body to rebuild damaged bone. By removing the cells but preserving the structure and natural growth signals, the ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The proteins that give plants their shape and structure are also involved in ...

Scientists have developed tiny engineered “satellite livers” that can be injected into the body to support liver function.

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

More than 10,000 Americans are waiting for a liver transplant. Many more never make the list, because they are too sick to ...

Researchers reveal that lack of sleep damages the myelin sheath in the brain and slows the rate of neural signal transmission ...

Protein activity can be precisely regulated via subtle changes in temperature using heat-sensitive switches. Underlying this capability is a novel modular design strategy developed by researchers at ...

More than 10,000 Americans who suffer from chronic liver disease are on a waitlist for a liver transplant, but there are not ...

Cryogenic microscopy at Diamond Light Source enables high-resolution, correlative imaging of cells under near-physiological ...

Chinese startup Guoke Xinglian has secured ¥100M ($14.6M) in Series A+ funding to scale up its precision-fermented human milk ...

Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle remains: real muscle is not just a mass of cells. Its strength and function ...
