Treating injuries inside the gastrointestinal tract remains one of medicine’s toughest challenges. Ulcers, bleeding, ...

Researchers in Germany have created a groundbreaking 3D printer designed to print living tissue in the body through tiny ...

In a breakthrough that can reshape the treatment of internal injuries, scientists have created a swallowable printer that can ...

But researchers from the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) School of Engineering are now turning that image on ...

Our bodies are constantly breaking down. Over time, their built-in repair mechanisms also fail. Knee cartilage grinds away. Hip joints no longer support weight. Treatments for breast cancer and other ...

Scientists at Columbia Engineering have developed an injectable hydrogel made from yogurt-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) that could revolutionize regenerative medicine. These EVs serve both as ...

We’ve come a long way from the Vacanti mouse. Back in the mid-90s, Charles Vacanti and other researchers experimented with cartilage regeneration and, with the help of a biodegradable mold and bovine ...

Our skin protects us from everyday mechanical stresses, like friction, cuts, and impacts. A key part of this function—standing as a bulwark against the outside world—is the skin's amazing ability to ...

Uncover the future of medicine with lab-grown tissues that promise safer and more effective approaches to healing and ...

Microplastics have completely permeated Earth's environment and our own bodies, from the top of Mount Everest to the deepest parts of the ocean to even inside our own brains. However, a meta-analysis ...

Researchers build anthrobots from human airway cells that self-assemble, move, self-heal, and reverse aging markers, offering insights into synthetic life systems. (Nanowerk Spotlight) What kinds of ...

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 ...
