‘Tiny biological batteries’ can change the cell membrane’s electrical properties – a discovery that has big implications for health, as many essential cellular processes hinge upon precise electrical ...

Southwest Research Institute demonstrated its single-use 3D bioreactor to produce induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs), derived from adult skin, blood, and other somatic cells. Useful for ...

The cells in our bodies move in groups during biological processes such as wound healing and tissue development – but because of resistance, or viscosity, those cells can’t just neatly glide past each ...

Bioengineers have developed a platform that accurately replicates conditions cancer cells encounter while traveling through ...

Directly transferring healthy mitochondria or cytoplasmic components into target cells is particularly relevant for regenerative medicine.

Research by the Stanford University School of Medicine professor revealed how newly formed strings of amino acids fold into complex three-dimensional shapes. Robert “Buzz” Baldwin, Early Expert in ...

Corneal transplantation using donor tissue is currently the primary treatment for corneal endothelial insufficiency. Despite the potential for vision restoration through corneal transplantation, there ...

Researchers at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto have demonstrated a new way to monitor ...

Implanting living cells as long-term drug producers could transform treatment for numerous diseases, but it is difficult to house the tiny workers in quantities high enough to ensure dosage needs are ...

Cells are not isolated units; they continuously exchange proteins, genetic material, and even entire organelles with their neighbors. Intercellular transfer influences how tissues develop, respond to ...
