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

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

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

Never-before-seen 3D reconstructions of human liver tissue have been created at a cellular level. The details obtained by a team of UW Medicine and University of Washington engineers and physicians ...

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 ...

Researchers have resolved a 50-year-old scientific mystery by identifying the molecular mechanism that allows tissues to ...

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 ...

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