When the human body gets hurt, most tissues heal—skin closes over a wound, bone heals itself. But not all organs heal that ...

Researchers in Germany have made a great breakthrough that could potentially revolutionize the future of regenerative ...

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 ...

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 & Research ...

Stem cells in most organisms typically take cues from adjacent cells. But new research from the Stowers Institute for Medical ...

A micro-optics breakthrough enables in-body 3D printing of living tissue using laser-guided bio-inks through a fibre thinner ...

The body's tissues can get injured in many ways, but while some injuries heal perfectly, others don't heal at all. A cut in ...

EPFL researchers have demonstrated the first pill-sized bioprinter that can be swallowed and guided within the ...

A University of Arizona research team will receive nearly $2.7 million from the NIH's Common Fund Venture Program to advance ...

Biologists discovered that mitochondria in different tissues talk to each other to repair injured cells. When their signal fails, the biological clock starts winding down. Aging can seem like an ...

A walrus is seen in Alaska's Chukchi Sea in June of 2010. Research by a University of Alaska Fairbanks student found microplastics, mostly tiny fibers, were lodged in muscle tissue, blubber and livers ...
