3D tissue engineering is advancing rapidly, enabling researchers to mimic the complexity of in vivo conditions with 3D in vitro assays. According to Jonathan Garlick, D.D.S, Ph.D., a professor of oral ...

Bioengineers at Queen Mary University of London have taken a significant step forward in the development of laboratory-based models of human tissues that may be used as alternatives to animal testing.

Using their novel FRESH 3D bioprinting technique, which allows for printing of soft living cells and tissues, a lab has built a tissue model entirely out of collagen. Collagen is well-known as an ...

For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

Commonly, it involves a computer-assisted motorized device that deposits biocompatible materials, viable cells, growth factors, proteins, nucleic acids, drugs, and supporting components in a ...

Heart rates are easier to monitor today than ever before. Thanks to smartwatches that can sense a pulse, all it takes is a quick flip of the wrist to check your heart. But monitoring the cells ...
