The development of biomaterials for artificial organs and tissues is an active area of research due to increases in accidental injuries and chronic diseases, along with the entry into a super-aged society. 3D bioprinting ...
A research group led by scientists from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science has developed a unique material, based on nanofillers embedded in a hydrogel, that can channel mechanical energy in one direction but not ...
Low-methoxy (LM) pectin gels have gained momentum in tissue engineering and drug delivery in recent years due to their excellent biocompatibility. LM pectin forms stable hydrogels by forming supramolecular assemblies with ...
RNA plays a central role in biology, but there is still much to learn about the molecule's life cycle in the cell. In recent years, scientists have devised methods that can take snapshots of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) scattered ...
A team led by Masaya Hagiwara of RIKEN national science institute in Japan has developed an ingenious device, using layers of hydrogels in a cube-like structure, that allows researchers to construct complex 3D organoids without ...
The synthetic PIC gel, discovered in 2013 by Radboud University chemists, appears to behave like collagen. This makes the gel very useful for studying interactions between cells and their immediate environment. In practice, ...
Bioengineers and tissue engineers intend to reconstruct skin equivalents with physiologically relevant cellular and matrix architectures for basic research and industrial applications. Skin pathophysiology depends on skin-nerve ...
Feeding 8 billion humans requires ingenuity and innovation. Zhenlei Xiao is an associate professor in residence in the UConn's College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources Department of Nutritional Sciences and her ...
When foods like fish, meat, and cheese decompose, they release a variety of low molecular weight organic nitrogen compounds known as biogenic amines (BAs). While the body uses BAs in small amounts in processes like hormone ...
Head of the Crick's Stem Cells and Neuromuscular Regeneration Lab, Francesco Saverio Tedesco, is also a doctor at Great Ormond Street Hospital, where he specializes in neurological and neuromuscular diseases of childhood, ...
