A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be ...

Research published today has demonstrated the viability of 3D-printed tissue scaffolds that harmlessly degrade while promoting tissue regeneration following implantation. The scaffolds showed highly ...

During the early stages of life, organs do not just appear in their final form. They take shape through a process of controlled bending, twisting, and folding. These changes help cells organize into ...

Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the ...

New cell-laden bioink, comprised of tightly-packed, flake-shaped microgels and living cells, the production of cell-rich 4D bioconstructs that can change shape under physiological conditions. Where ...

(Nanowerk News) One of the primary goals in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is the development of artificial scaffolds that can serve as substitutes for damaged tissue. These ...

The 4Degra resins can be printed into scaffolds with a range of pore sizes and mechanical properties. (Courtesy: CC BY 4.0/A Weems et al Nat. Commun. 10.1038/s41467-021-23956-6) Scientists from the ...

A newly developed 3D-printable tissue scaffold is designed to break down in the body once it has served its medical purpose. The 4Degra biodegradable and customizable biomaterial could provide support ...
