Bioengineers have used organoids – tiny lab-grown organs – to mimic the early development of the heart in the mouse embryo. The work is another step towards future bioartificial organs for research and transplants
3D bioprinted algae can be harnessed as a sustainable source of oxygen for human cells in engineered vascularized tissues, researchers reported
Researchers have developed a cardiac patch with tiny engineered blood vessels that improved recovery from MI in rats and pigs
A team has developed a thermoresponsive nanotopography cell culture platform
Polymer scaffolds embedded with magnetic nanoparticles trigger stem cell differentiation and tendon regeneration
Radiator-like fluid systems adjust the genetic wiring inside human liver cells in preliminary work toward artificial organ-tissue engineering
By placing tiny aggregates of cells inside yield-stress gels, researchers have shown they can print biological tissue in complex 3D shapes
Bacterial biofilms can mechanically disrupt tissue means they could damage their host without using toxins
Bioengineers have created miniature intestines in a dish that match up anatomically and functionally to the real thing better than any other lab-grown tissue models. The biological complexity and longevity of the new organoid technology is an important step
