A team in Germany has shown that mouse brain tissue can regain measurable signs of activity after being preserved in a ...

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 ...

Scientists discover that hidden mechanical rules in tissues help shape animal bodies, explaining why corals and jellyfish ...

Using animals to research potentially life-saving treatments for humans is a necessary part of the scientific process, though progress has been made in reducing the number of animals involved. In a ...

As a researcher, I still remember the discomfort I felt every time I had to sacrifice laboratory animals for an experiment.

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 from Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and University College London (UCL) have created the first lab‑grown ...

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 ...
