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

Obesity leaves a lasting imprint on fat and immune cells in ways that might make weight regain harder to avoid ...

As we age with each passing year, we become more susceptible to chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and dementia.

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 ...

RIT researchers solve multiple tissue engineering challenges by developing a novel hydrogel to host human cells and a device to 3D print bioinks safely.

A single genetic “switch” may be the secret to how the body’s cleanup crew grows up and keeps our organs running smoothly.

Researchers at the University of Liège have identified a key genetic regulator that enables macrophages to reach full ...

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 ...

The human body is a dynamic place. Blood pumps, spinal fluid flows, oxygen comes in and carbon dioxide goes out. Deeper still, charged molecules pass through cell walls, quietly keeping the body's ...
