For the 300,000 Americans living with the immune disease scleroderma, better treatments can't come soon enough. The rare and sometimes fatal illness stiffens and scars tissue in organs like the lungs, ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

Using their novel FRESH 3D bioprinting technique, which allows for printing of soft living cells and tissues, a lab has built a tissue model entirely out of collagen. Collagen is well-known as an ...

UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a 3D bio-printed model that closely mimics the complexity of natural lung tissue, an innovation that could transform how scientists study lung disease and ...

Heart rates are easier to monitor today than ever before. Thanks to smartwatches that can sense a pulse, all it takes is a quick flip of the wrist to check your heart. But monitoring the cells ...

Lab-grown skin captures the complexities of real disease to develop more effective treatments for scleroderma and other life-threatening conditions. For the 300,000 Americans living with the immune ...
