New study finds microplastics in 90% of prostate cancer tumors, with double the concentration in cancerous tissue compared to healthy tissue from patient samples.

Growing tissues can crack, break, and dissociate to form structures that can later withstand immense forces.

Image 1. Three examples of the tissue shapes the team created. The black and white square, circle and triangle on the left correspond to the cells that were illuminated. On the right, three fruit fly ...

Tissue processing advance can label proteins at the level of individual cells across whole, intact rodent brains and other large samples just as fast and uniformly as in dissociated single cells. A ...

Image 2. Example of optogenetics-guided tissue folding. The top image shows an embryo 10 minutes after illumination, and the bottom one 13 minutes afterwards: light-activated cells have folded inwards ...

Never-before-seen 3D reconstructions of human liver tissue have been created at a cellular level. The details obtained by a team of UW Medicine and University of Washington engineers and physicians ...

Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from engineering, biology, and materials science to develop biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue ...
