Wearing blue rubber gloves, Molly Dobrow reached into a metal vat of diluted sodium hydroxide and pulled out two dripping-wet models of human organs: a heart and a set of lungs. Made of Elastico, a ...

Researchers create a new polymer that mimics the mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic properties of brain tissue, driving ...

Biomedical engineers have developed a silk-based, ultrathin membrane that can be used in organ-on-a-chip models to better mimic the natural environment of cells and tissues within the body. When used ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers used cutting-edge blood plasma proteomics to investigate if human organs age at different rates. They analyzed 11 organs in almost 5,700 ...

UCLA researchers have created miniature stem cell-based organoid models of human lungs, hearts and brains to study how hantaviruses—rare but often deadly viruses spread by rodents—infect the body.

Perfusion keeps a donated organ alive outside the body, giving surgeons extra time and increasing the number of transplants possible. By Ted Alcorn On some level, the human liver in the operating room ...
