Scientists have engineered a lab-on-a-chip system capable of applying precisely controlled mechanical forces to biological materials that mimic the extracellular matrix.

In this piece, I highlight one particular talk that caught my interest — given by Elana Fertig, Dean E. Albert Reece Endowed ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Before the advent of spatial transcriptomic analyses, single-cell RNA sequencing methods largely required that scientists break tissue ...

Molecular profiles that “zoom in” (to reveal the contents of single cells) and “zoom out” (to reveal cell-cell relationships in tissue samples) promise to transform medicine Brain metastases ...

Adipose tissue is increasingly recognised not merely as an inert energy reservoir but as a dynamic endocrine organ intricately involved in whole‐body metabolic regulation. Both white and brown ...

AI and large-scale datasets will unlock new biology learning via spatial omics. Provided byOwkin 37 trillion. That is the number or cells that form a human being. How they all work together to sustain ...

The latest studies published by The Human Cell Atlas make further progress toward their goal of mapping every human cell type, and these four papers focus on multi-tissue cell analysis. The Human Cell ...

Growing tissues can crack, break, and dissociate to form structures that can later withstand immense forces.

Every day, your body replaces billions of cells-and yet, your tissues stay perfectly organized. How is that possible? A team of researchers at ChristianaCare's Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research ...

Retinoic acid, the active state of Vitamin A, appears to regulate how stem cells enter and exit a transient state central to their role in wound repair. Retinoic acid, the active state of Vitamin A, ...

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