In mammalian physiology, adipose tissue has many important roles, including in energy storage, metabolism, lactation and non-shivering thermogenesis. Distinct types and depots of this dynamic ...

How different cells organize themselves, within a tissue, to support tissue functions remains poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed an AI-powered algorithm to help understand how cells ...

Two complementary research articles reveal that central and peripheral circadian clocks coordinate to regulate the daily activity of skin and muscles. The coordination between the two clocks (central ...

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 ...

In his PhD research at Utrecht University and UMC Utrecht, Marc Falandt developed biomaterials whose properties can be adjusted even after they have been 3D-printed, effectively adding a fourth ...

Scientists have developed a synthetic tissue that repairs injuries and restores normal erectile function in a pig model, in a study publishing January 4 in the journal Matter. The findings suggest ...

Organoids, which originate from stem cells, are a tool with great potential for modeling tissue and disease biology. The idea is to build miniature tissues and organs that accurately resemble and ...

Bioengineers have created miniature intestines in a dish that match up anatomically and functionally to the real thing better than any other lab-grown tissue models. The biological complexity and ...

A new review published in Genes & Diseases highlights the transformative role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in regulating and potentially reversing adipose tissue fibrosis, a condition closely linked to ...

Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from engineering, biology, and materials science to develop biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue ...

In good news for future animation figureheads, there might be a new way to revive frozen brains without damaging them. Scientists in China have developed a new chemical concoction that lets brain ...
