A new study shows that engineered, cell-free cartilage can safely support bone regeneration without provoking immune rejection. New research suggests it may be possible to repair major bone damage ...

Deep within the intricate world of cellular biology, scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have made a remarkable discovery about aging that could transform our understanding of human longevity. Their ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

Findings from the Living Brain Project reveal how senescence processes involved in early brain development may also shape brain aging ...

- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

Intercellular fluid flow, not just cell structure, governs how tissues respond to physical forces by Jennifer Chu, Massachusetts Institute of Technology edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan ...

The cochlea is the spiral-shaped structure within the inner ear responsible for our sense of hearing. To fully understand hearing functions and open the door to new hearing loss treatments, scientists ...

Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.
