In vitro tissue engineering is emerging as a key strategy for the replacement of damaged or diseased tissue 1. A typical approach is to immobilize stem cells on a porous scaffold, and induce ...

In a discovery that could pave the way for therapies that promote wound healing and alleviate skin diseases, RIKEN researchers have found that the network of molecules under the outermost layer of ...

In the laboratories of 3D Biotechnology Solutions (3DBS), a startup incubated at the Mandic Hub in Campinas, São Paulo state, Brazil, solutions are being developed for the biofabrication of human and ...

Biomedical engineers have developed a silk-based, ultrathin membrane that can be used in organ-on-a-chip models to better mimic the natural environment of cells and tissues within the body. When used ...

A joint study conducted by researchers at University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) suggests that blocking a certain membrane protein could be enough to ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the chaos outside. A new line of research suggests they may be far more dynamic, ...

Acidification of intracellular compartments by the vacuolar-type H+-ATPases (VHA) is known to energize ion and metabolite transport, though cellular processes influenced by this activity are poorly ...

Newly developed technique uses a multifunctional periodontal membrane which is surgically inserted into the pocket between affected gums and tooth Periodontitis, a serious //gum disease that often ...
