Structures that form mammalian tissues have been made in 3-D using embryonic tissue explants, finite element modeling, and 3D cell-patterning techniques. Using embryonic tissue explants, finite ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Since Robert Hooke’s first description of a cell in Micrographia 350 years ago, microscopy has played an important role in understanding the rules of life. However, the smallest ...
Horned dinosaurs probably used their noses not just for smelling but also to help control temperature and moisture.
The contraction process involves interactions between actin and myosin filaments within the sarcomeres to generate force. News organizations may use or redistribute this image, with proper attribution ...
3D printed tissues and organs have shown real potential in addressing shortages of available donor tissue for people in need of transplants, but having them take root and survive after implantation ...
On the surface, plants and animals couldn't be more different. However, as researchers at Worcester Polytechnic University (WPU) have discovered, they also share surprising similarities in their ...
Growing tissues can crack, break, and dissociate to form structures that can later withstand immense forces.
