Different surface topographies and materials provide interesting ways to study cell behavior and potentially provide novel solutions for treating joint defects. Tissue engineering methods that ...

The rising incidence of cancer worldwide has led to an increasing number of surgeries that involve the removal of lymph nodes. Although these procedures play a major role in cancer staging and ...

Penn State researchers have developed a technique they call “cellular snowballing,” in which lab-grown cells mixed with microgel particles self-assemble into larger tissue constructs without external ...

Four patented Tissue Orb bioreactors within spaceflight hardware. This configuration will be launched into space and installed into the International Space Station during the first flight experiment ...

What are Tissue Engineering Scaffolds? Tissue engineering scaffolds are three-dimensional structures designed to support cell growth, migration, and differentiation for the regeneration of damaged or ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto's Institute of Biomedical Engineering have developed a new method to mature ...

Researchers from the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University say they have developed a new method of bioprinting physiological materials. Called TRACE (Tunable Rapid Assembly of ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Tissue engineering aims to restore damaged tissues by combining cells, engineering materials, and biologically active molecules. The architecture and composition of the engineered ...

Cutting edge: Scientists studying human tissue self-assembly will try to grow human liver tissue in space next year. The microgravity of the ISS provides a perfect environment to allow cells to ...

Medical scientists now have "clear" evidence that the damaged cartilage tissue in osteoarthritis and other painful joint disorders can be encouraged to regrow and regenerate, and are developing tissue ...
