You likely bought tissue paper to wrap gifts, but it can often be reused for the same purpose. Add used sheets to paper gift ...

Bioengineers print 3D implants with layered cells destined to become distinct combinations of tissue, like bone and cartilage. The scaffolds degrade over time to leave the natural tissues in place.

3D bioprinting combines cells, growth factors, and biomaterials to fabricate biomedical parts. The process requires special “bio-inks,” often made of materials like alginate or gelatin. A key goal is ...

Forming sensory organs requires complicated interactions between numerous cell types. Building these tissues in a dish from human stem cells helps researchers understand how they develop over time and ...

(Nanowerk News) Repairing injured tissues, like knee cartilage, with cell-seeded implants is a promising approach for tissue regeneration. Now, bioengineers in the Rice Biomaterials Lab have created a ...

Fixing traumatic injuries to the skin and bones of the face and skull is difficult because of the many layers of different types of tissues involved, but now, researchers have repaired such defects in ...

A new electromagnetic device that enables high-precision measurements of a broad range of soft biological tissues, has established a new standard of precision in the mechanobiology field, say ...

The epithelium is a type of tissue that covers many different surfaces on the inside and the outside of your body. Epithelial cells are packed tightly together and serve as a barrier between the ...

Subcutaneous (subQ or SQ) injections are shots given in the fatty tissue layer (subcutaneous fat) under your skin. Your skin has many layers, and the subcutaneous layer is beneath the epidermis and ...
