University of Missouri researchers are developing new ways to better simulate the complex nature of human brain tissue. For years, scientists have worked to uncover how the brain responds to ...

Soft robotics has emerged as a transformative branch of robotics, distinguished by its reliance on highly compliant materials ...

To explore possible treatments for various diseases, either animal models or human cell cultures are usually used first; however, animal models do not always mimic human diseases well, and cultures ...

It's an achievement with important implications for scientists studying the brain and working on treatments for a broad range of neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders, such as Alzheimer's and ...

After vocal cord surgery, many patients develop stiff vocal folds that impact their ability to speak. Hydrogels can help prevent this by promoting healing, but delivering hydrogels to the vocal cords ...

For the first time, scientists have generated functional human brain tissue using a 3D printer. The tissue was created using a biological "printer" that churned out stem-cell-laden gel in horizontal ...

For years, scientists have been able to print living tissue. The problem is that most of it looks more like a sparse sketch than a real organ. In the human body, cells are packed tightly together, ...
