Scientists have engineered a lab-on-a-chip system capable of applying precisely controlled mechanical forces to biological materials that mimic the extracellular matrix.

In this piece, I highlight one particular talk that caught my interest — given by Elana Fertig, Dean E. Albert Reece Endowed Professor of Medicine at the University of Maryland. Fertig’s talk centered ...

Adipose tissue is increasingly recognised not merely as an inert energy reservoir but as a dynamic endocrine organ intricately involved in whole‐body metabolic regulation. Both white and brown ...

Spatial biology has rapidly reshaped tissue analysis, but most methods still rely on thin two-dimensional (2D) slices, giving fragmented glimpses of complex tissue structures. As spatial ...

Spatial proteomics is a spatial biology method that helps study the spatial distribution of the proteins within cells and tissues. The subcellular localization of proteins is intrinsic to cellular ...

Cell and tissue biology is currently in an exciting era. Techniques for analyzing cells, such as spatial biology, live-cell imaging and single-cell sequencing are advancing at a dramatic pace, ...

Every day, your body replaces billions of cells – and yet, your tissues stay perfectly organized. How is that possible? A team of researchers at ChristianaCare’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & ...

Researchers have developed a method to direct stem cells to form specific structures. By triggering the expression of specific genes in mouse embryonic stem cells, synthetic organizer cells were ...

A multidisciplinary team have built hydrogels built entirely from synthetic peptides so their properties can be precisely tailored through chemical design. By harnessing the power of collagen-inspired ...
