Jennifer Lee, a biomedical engineering master’s student at Texas A&M University, joined Dr. Abhishek Jain’s lab and designed an advanced vessel-chip that could replicate variations in vascular ...

Scientists at the University of North Texas report a breakthrough in building tiny, lab-grown replicas of human organs. These replicas, called organoids, can mimic some functions and structures of ...

In his lab, Yuxiang Zhu leaned over a softly humming 3D printer, his face lit by the faint glow of a nearby monitor. Beneath the printer's nozzle, a thick blend of seaweed-derived sodium alginate and ...

For months, Sabrina Staples stared at a silicone chip no bigger than a postage stamp, trying to coax cells into doing something remarkable. But every time she loaded her delicate microfluidic device ...

A new type of bioengineered blood vessel showed strong results in treating severe vascular injuries, potentially offering vascular surgeons a better alternative to synthetic grafts when patients' ...

All day long, our brains carry out complicated and energy-intensive tasks such as remembering, solving problems, and making decisions. To supply the energy these tasks require while conserving this ...

How can we investigate the effects of a new drug? How can we better understand the interaction between different organs to grasp the systemic response? In biomedical research, so-called ...

When some snakes bite, they can deliver a powerful punch of toxin-filled venom that damages organ systems and can even result in death. Annually, around 400,000 snakebite victims die worldwide. One of ...
