A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be ...

Severed body parts from a sea cucumber survived for over three years in a lab, healing themselves and absorbing nutrients ...

Tissue optical clearing is a fundamental technique that enhances light penetration deep into biological samples by reducing light scattering through refractive index homogenization. This process ...

Scientists discovered that detached tissue from a marine animal displayed signs of immortality, healing and reorganizing independently.

A group of researchers in Japan have made quite the breakthrough. According to a new study published in the Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, these scientists have created solar-powered ...

Cardiovascular researchers at UC Davis Health have developed a novel technique that allows scientists to study how the brain communicates with other organs, like the heart or gut. The new method ...

Synthetic tissue models offer a realistic testing alternative to the use of live animals and cadavers. Centuries of scientific and medical strides since the Renaissance would have been impossible ...

Dr. Neeraj Dhar and his VIDO team are developing ‘organoids’ — donor tissue engineered in a lab to mimic various organs — for ...

3D surface of the fruit fly wing disc before (left) and after (right) eversion. Highlighted in blue is the pouch region, which transforms from a radially symmetric dome into a curved fold by ...
