A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be ...

Tissue optical clearing is a fundamental technique that enhances light penetration deep into biological samples by reducing light scattering through refractive index homogenization. This process ...

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) begin to accumulate in the tissues of mammals already during the fetal stage, according to new research from the University of Oulu, Finland. The animal-model ...

(Nanowerk News) Tissue engineering seeks to repair damaged tissues by providing cellular scaffolds that support regeneration. Ideally, these scaffolds should be biocompatible, biodegradable materials ...

Penn State researchers have developed a technique they call “cellular snowballing,” in which lab-grown cells mixed with ...
