This is the first time that brain tissue has been cryogenically frozen and revived without damage. In a process called vitrification, researchers treated slices of mouse brains with cryoprotectants ...

In good news for future animation figureheads, there might be a new way to revive frozen brains without damaging them. Scientists in China have developed a new chemical concoction that lets brain ...

We’ve come a long way from the Vacanti mouse. Back in the mid-90s, Charles Vacanti and other researchers experimented with cartilage regeneration and, with the help of a biodegradable mold and bovine ...

The printed tissue grows and functions like that in a normal human brain, according to the authors of the new study. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Researchers have developed a way of bioprinting tissues that change shape as a result of cell-generated forces, in the same way that it happens in biological tissues during organ development. The ...

3D bioprinting combines cells, growth factors, and biomaterials to fabricate biomedical parts. The process requires special “bio-inks,” often made of materials like alginate or gelatin. A key goal is ...

While microplastic pollution continues to advance, research into its possible effects on health remains hampered by technical hurdles. To date, there are no suitable methods for precisely identifying ...

A new lab-made substance mimics human tissue and could reduce or replace the use of animal-derived materials in biomedical research. Scientists at UNSW Sydney have created a new material that could ...

Andrei Georgescu, PhD, CEO of Vivodyne, was hoping to couple his interests in science and engineering when he chose UPenn for his graduate research. His goal was to build on his background in ...
