Modern biomedical research depends on the ability to see what is happening inside biological tissue. Among the available ...

A new strategy in tissue engineering has been developed: Tiny spherical microscaffolds are created in a high precision 3D printer. They are cultivated with living cells and then assembled. The cells ...

Traditional-tissue engineering approaches (Panel A) seed cells onto a three-dimensional biomaterial scaffold that serves as a framework for new tissue development (i). The scaffold degrades as new ...

An "out-of-this-world" project has the potential to transform the future of tissue engineering and liver transplantation through innovative research conducted aboard the International Space Station ...

Four patented Tissue Orb bioreactors within spaceflight hardware. This configuration will be launched into space and installed into the International Space Station during the first flight experiment ...

These fields aim to facilitate healing and restore lost function in damaged or diseased tissues and organs by integrating scaffolds, cells, and biological signaling molecules. This combination aims to ...

Microgravity offers a unique condition for tissue engineering, advancing stem cell-derived liver tissue development. But how can we transport these tissues to Earth without damaging them? Researchers ...

Cutting edge: Scientists studying human tissue self-assembly will try to grow human liver tissue in space next year. The microgravity of the ISS provides a perfect environment to allow cells to ...
