Tissue fluid pressure ensures tissue stiffness under rapid cartilage loading such as jumping, at the same time as the collagen fibril network limits tissue deformations. Under static loading such as ...

To investigate the changes of expression and function of P-glycoprotein (P-GP) in cerebral cortex, hippocampus, liver, intestinal mucosa and kidney of streptozocin-induced diabetic rats. We used ...

Water makes up around 60% of the human body. More than half of this water is inside the cells that make up organs and tissues, and much of the remaining water flows in the spaces between cells. MIT ...

Researchers at Children's Hospital Boston report using tissue engineering to reconstruct defective tracheas (windpipes) in fetal lambs, first using cells from the amniotic fluid to grow sections of ...

Water makes up around 60 percent of the human body. More than half of this water sloshes around inside the cells that make up organs and tissues. Much of the remaining water flows in the nooks and ...

For the millions of people living with end‑stage kidney disease, hemodialysis is more than a medical procedure, it is a thrice‑weekly lifeline that keeps the body's chemistry in balance. Yet even with ...
