Nature has consistently inspired engineering applications. Recently, a group of researchers drew new inspirations from the vascular network and developed a new type of fluidic system named VasFluidics ...

Ikoma, Japan – The generation and maintenance of tissue boundaries are fundamental to the development of functional organs in both plants and animals. In general, tissue boundaries are initially set ...

Research into the biomechanical properties of soft tissues and vascular structures has led to significant advancements in our understanding of tissue mechanics, with direct implications for clinical ...

When biomedical researchers need to test their latest ideas, they often turn to engineered human tissue that mimics the responses in our own bodies. It's become an important intermediary step before ...

Heart diseases requiring surgical intervention are becoming increasingly common, with nearly a billion people worldwide already suffering from them. These delicate procedures almost always require ...

Boston Children's Hospital scientists have unveiled a five-day approach to generate functional vascular organoids capable of supporting blood flow and in vivo engraftment. Subscribe to our newsletter ...

Scientists have identified a crucial mechanism that allows plants to shape their vascular systems, determining whether they grow soft edible storage organs or develop the rigid woody tissue ...

There is a global shortage of transplantable organs, from which have emerged two main approaches to solving this issue: xenotransplantation and bioengineering. With all the news in pig-to-human organ ...

A cytokinin-mediated, proliferation-based mechanism is involved in the generation and maintenance of cell-type specific tissue boundaries during vascular development in Arabidopsis roots. Specifically ...
