Pioneer Fellow Hao Liu uses lasers to produce microfilament structures to grow biological tissue in the lab for research and medicine—from muscle tissue to cartilage. Now he's working to ready this ...

The Lieberam Lab, in collaboration with the Song Group at UCL and led by Ph.D. student Aimee Cheesbrough, have developed a new synthetic scaffold to grow muscle cells from human stem cells, allowing ...

Electricity prompts lab-grown pancreatic cells to mature, suggesting a new way to treat diabetes. A new electronic implant system can help lab‑grown pancreatic cells mature and function properly, ...

Have your research results or laboratory processes been bogged down by poor staining quality of histology slides? We all know that proper tissue processing is a key element to downstream staining ...

A new, easily adopted, 3D-printed device will enable scientists to create models of human tissue with even greater control and complexity. An interdisciplinary group of researchers at the University ...

In a small lab at the University of California, Santa Cruz, clusters of mouse brain cells have taken on a task normally reserved for computer algorithms: keeping a simulated pole balanced upright. The ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to grow specialized blood vessel cells critical to retinal health for the first time. When injected into mouse ...

Deep within the heart’s right atrium lies the sinoatrial node, a tiny cluster of cells responsible for controlling the body’s heartbeat. Often described as the heart’s natural pacemaker, it generates ...

In a story ripped from the opening scenes of a sci-fi horror movie, scientists have bridged a critical gap between the biological and electronic. The study, published in Nature Electronics (summarized ...
