A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be ...

Scientists discover that hidden mechanical rules in tissues help shape animal bodies, explaining why corals and jellyfish ...

Tissue optical clearing is a fundamental technique that enhances light penetration deep into biological samples by reducing light scattering through refractive index homogenization. This process ...

A group of researchers in Japan have made quite the breakthrough. According to a new study published in the Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, these scientists have created solar-powered ...

The axolotl is one of the strangest animals on Earth. This aquatic salamander can regenerate limbs, repair damaged tissue, and heal without leaving scars. Scientists study the axolotl closely because ...

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) begin to accumulate in the tissues of mammals already during the fetal stage, according to new research from the University of Oulu, Finland. The animal-model ...

(Nanowerk News) Tissue engineering seeks to repair damaged tissues by providing cellular scaffolds that support regeneration. Ideally, these scaffolds should be biocompatible, biodegradable materials ...
