Model with unprecedented detail to study the blood–brain barrier
“Brain-on-a-chip” shows minute-by-minute how the blood–brain barrier reacts to high levels of inflammation.
Pillar of support: Breakthrough discovery could speed up bone implant recovery
Micropillar arrays using UV nanoimprint lithography essentially trick cells to become bone.
What is CRISPR?
Here we take a look at how CRISPR, the revolutionary “molecular scissors”, works and where its being used.
A pain-free microneedle patch to help with weight loss
Minimally invasive delivery of capsaicin into adipose tissues under the skin shows promise for countering obesity.
Individualized brain cell grafts reverse Parkinson’s symptoms in monkeys
A new study provides hope for Parkinson’s disease, showing that neuron grafts using patients’ own cells have the potential to manage and even reverse symptoms.
Shape-shifting 4D materials provide new opportunity for tissue engineering
A new hydrogel can incorporate high cell density constructs to better mimic the rearrangement of native tissue in bioengineering.
Bioengineered muscle fibers help regrow damaged tissue
A new tissue regeneration strategy that employs direct cell reprogramming in combination with a new hybrid scaffold shows promise in proof-of-concept study.
3D-printable bone replacements
Researchers develop a new strategy to 3D print bone-mimicking structures at room temperature incorporating live, bone-forming cells.
