A new 3D connective tissue model gives researchers a sophisticated tool to understand the underlying mechanisms of connective tissue disorders and test potential treatments. To find treatments for ...

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, ...

Engineers have created a new liver tissue model that allows them to trace the steps involved in liver regeneration more precisely than has been possible before. The human liver has amazing ...

University researchers have developed a new connective tissue model to study disorders like fibrosis, a type of scarring that occurs when damage to the body causes normal tissue to be replaced by hard ...

In a bid to gain further understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a team of researchers has created 3D bioprinted liver models. MASH, ...

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 ...

Human breast milk is uniquely adapted to meet an infant's nutritional needs. Surprisingly, we still know very little about how milk is even made in the breast. A team of ETH Zurich researchers led by ...

The research, published today in Science Advances, is the first to use a sophisticated human tissue model to explore the interaction between host and pathogen for six common species that cause urinary ...

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 ...
