Doctors and scientists have long relied on microscopes to study human tissue and diagnose disease. But today's medical ...

Our bodies and organs are shielded from the external environment by tissue barriers like the skin. These barriers must be tightly sealed to prevent unwanted substances from entering. This sealing is ...

Researchers have created a way to guide and control the development of stem cells into specific tissues and organs, opening the door to developing a means of one day tackling complex diseases like ...

A new study may change the way scientists think about the distance traveled by tiny bubbles carrying signals between cells ...

Now, MIT engineers have found that this "intercellular" fluid plays a major role in how tissues respond when squeezed, pressed, or physically deformed. Their findings could help scientists understand ...

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed Nicheformer, the first large-scale foundation model that integrates single-cell analysis with spatial ...

A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be ...

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, marked by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. What makes it ...
