A multidisciplinary team have built hydrogels built entirely from synthetic peptides so their properties can be precisely ...

Scientists identified a gene switch that helps immune cells fully mature, allowing them to clean up tissues and keep our organs healthy.

Scientists have uncovered a powerful genetic switch that helps some of the body’s most important immune cells grow up properly and keep our organs healthy. The switch, called MafB, guides immature ...

Growing tissues can crack, break, and dissociate to form structures that can later withstand immense forces.

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. AD-NP1, a lab-made antibody that restores the body’s natural healing power, helping the heart and other organs recover after ...

A microscopic view of Kupffer’s vesicle (KV), a tiny, fluid-filled, balloon-shaped structure in zebrafish embryos that plays a crucial role in establishing body symmetry and guiding the placement of ...

A single genetic “switch” may be the secret to how the body’s cleanup crew grows up and keeps our organs running smoothly.

Spatial maps of various tissues and organs in aging mice have revealed new insights into the aging process. Aging is a process common to many animals; however, the complexity of aging means that there ...

518-million-year-old fossil reveals vertebrates once had four eyes and extra organs that later shaped evolution.
