The FDA has cracked down on the use of power morcellators in recent years. The devices are used in gynecological and general laparoscopic procedures to break up uterine fibroids and other tissue ...

Doctors and scientists have long relied on microscopes to study human tissue and diagnose disease. But today's medical ...

Adipose tissue is an underappreciated and misunderstood organ. Capable of more than doubling in mass and then returning to baseline, 1 white adipose tissue (WAT) continues to play an essential role in ...

This new hydrogel system (IT-IC) can protect the gel from destruction by external forces. In conventional covalently crosslinked hydrogels (e.g., methacrylated hyaluronic acid, referred to as MeHA), ...

In A Nutshell MIT researchers built a portable ultrasound device weighing just over one pound that images more than 4 inches ...

Traditional-tissue engineering approaches (Panel A) seed cells onto a three-dimensional biomaterial scaffold that serves as a framework for new tissue development (i). The scaffold degrades as new ...

A 3D-bioprinted pancreatic tissue scaffold made from collagen, overlaid with the confocal fluorescence images of the internal vascular network (green) and the expressed insulin (magenta). Collagen is ...

Microphysiological systems and organ-on-chip technologies are increasingly used to model human tissues outside the body, offering alternatives to animal experiments and traditional cell cultures.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University report that they have built a first-of-its-kind microphysiologic system, or tissue model, entirely out of collagen using their Freeform Reversible Embedding ...
