Researchers have discovered a previously unknown type of connective tissue cells that surround cancer cells in pancreatic tumors. The newly discovered cells counteract tumor development and may ...

For decades, lab-grown cells have been studied in materials that don't reflect the softness and flexibility of human tissue.

Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have discovered a previously unknown type of connective tissue cells that surround cancer cells in pancreatic tumors. The newly discovered cells counteract ...

Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle remains: real muscle is not just a mass of cells. Its strength and function ...

Scientists at UCSF invented a microscopic “womb” material for growing artificial organs (organoids) from scratch.

Hydrogel micromachines recreate the push and pull of living cells, helping scientists study how mechanical forces shape tissues in the lab.

Traumatic muscle injury can be associated with volumetric muscle loss (VML), often leading to permanent functional loss.

Tumours have developed many strategies and tricks to gain advantages in the body. Led by cell biology professor Sabine Werner, researchers at ETH Zurich have now discovered another surprising trick ...
