How are disease-relevant molecules distributed within tissue? What changes occur even before they become visible under the ...

For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...

Scientists used patient stem cells and 3D bioprinting to produce eye tissue that will advance understanding of the mechanisms of blinding diseases. The research team printed a combination of cells ...

Drugs that are taken orally need to pass through the lining of the gastrointestinal (GI) to be taken up. Transporter proteins found on cells that line the GI tract help with this process, but for many ...

UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a 3D bio-printed model that closely mimics the complexity of natural lung tissue, an innovation that could transform how scientists study lung disease and ...

Researchers investigate which material properties support vessel formation. Using lab-created tissue to heal or replace damaged organs is one of the great visions for the future of medicine. Synthetic ...

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 ...

HER2-positive breast cancer accounts for about 20% of breast cancer cases and is generally associated with more aggressive behavior and a higher risk of distant metastasis, while pathologic complete ...

Polydatin reduces cardiotoxicity of tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib by decreasing pro-oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory cytokines and NLRP3 inflammasome expression.
