Two recently published studies led by Brazilian scientists reveal the key roles of multifunctional proteins, STIP1 and Maspin ...

Our body's "blood factory" consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types.

During cell division, adherent animal cells round up to create the precise spatial geometry required for accurate chromosome ...

Researchers have created functional brain-like tissue without relying on any animal-derived materials, marking a major step toward more ethical and reproducible neurological research.

This study provides valuable data on the role of Hsd17b7, a gene involved in cholesterol biosynthesis, as a potential regulator of mechanosensory hair cell function. The authors used both zebrafish ...

Researchers from the University of Rochester’s Department of Biomedical Engineering will shed new light on tissue and organ ...

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 ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected function for a crucial protein involved in cell division. Reported in two consecutive publications, the finding challenges long-accepted models and standard ...

Only rigorous mathematical tools to quantify the shape of cells can guarantee reliable results in coarse-grained descriptions of tissue dynamics.
