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

A new light-controlled hydrogel developed at CU Boulder mimics the movement and flexibility of real tissue, giving scientists a more realistic way to study ...

Scientists found microplastics in all examined human brains in a recent study, with highest levels discovered in dementia patients.

For decades, lab-grown cells have been studied in materials that don’t reflect the softness and flexibility of human tissue. Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have develope ...

Before you ever set foot on a spacecraft bound for deep space, tiny replicas of your organs might make the journey first. Suspended in microgravity aboard a research mission, this organ-on-a-chip, or ...

Tissue Engineering (TE) strategies combining stem cells, biomaterial scaffolds, and biochemical/physical cues have emerged as promising approaches for the repair/replacement of injured tissues and ...

As a researcher, I still remember the discomfort I felt every time I had to sacrifice laboratory animals for an experiment.

Neurofibrillary tangles mark Alzheimer’s disease and a plethora of primary tauopathies. How best to study them in the lab? Most mouse tauopathy models overexpress the human tau protein and are highly ...
