Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell ...

To understand how cells behave, researchers also need to understand the molecules that make them work. "If someone wants to know how the kidney functions, they have to know what's going on inside the ...

UCR scientists create a fully synthetic model for growing brain cells that could allow for animal-free drug testing.

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists who arranged for 48 human bioengineered heart tissue samples to spend 30 days at the International Space Station report evidence that the low gravity conditions in ...

Scientists have now created an encyclopedia of gene function for all known human genes that code for protein. This data uses the most current and reliable data, and it has also been released on a ...

Everywhere scientists look for microplastics, they've found them -- food, water, air and some parts of the human body. But examinations of our innermost organs that aren't directly exposed to the ...

In good news for future animation figureheads, there might be a new way to revive frozen brains without damaging them. Scientists in China have developed a new chemical concoction that lets brain ...

Aging seems to occur in a linear fashion throughout the human lifespan, from childhood to the "golden years," but a new study has revealed one specific turning point when aging starts to accelerate in ...
