Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle ...

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

Researchers at the Cancer Research Institute and the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, have ...

Dissociating tissues into single cells is a core laboratory technique and vital for widely used applications such as next-generation sequencing or flow cytometry. Scientists who employ tissue ...

Our immune system relies on T cells to fight infections. But T cells don't just show up and react—first, they train, get a ...

Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with their environment. Maintaining their functionality requires dynamic balance (homeostasis) and that their cell numbers are tightly regulated. This is ...

In 2021, a technology developed at the University of Michigan, called Seq-Scope, revolutionized the ability to map gene ...

Immune responses rely on the efficient movement of immune cells within the complex and geometrically unpredictable three-dimensional tissues that make up our bodies. Recent research by the Sixt group ...

Restoring natural vocal cord vibrations may reduce aggressive cancer activity, offering new clues about how laryngeal cancer develops.

Weight loss is notoriously hard to maintain. Within a few years most people regain the pounds they initially lose, whether ...
