From the hairs on our arms to the microscopic sensory structures of the inner ear, many tissues in the body are built with a ...

For decades, the inner ear was treated as an immunological no-go zone. The blood-labyrinth barrier and the absence of ...

Every time a tissue grows or renews itself, cells must divide inside an already crowded environment. That creates a ...

Now, MIT engineers have found that this "intercellular" fluid plays a major role in how tissues respond when squeezed, pressed, or physically deformed. Their findings could help scientists understand ...

A new study by scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill reveals that the cells shaping our organs may be far more mobile and coordinated than once believed. The study is published ...

While medical centers use ultrasound daily, so far this technology has not been capable of observing body tissues at the scale of cells. Physicists have now developed a microscopy technique based on ...

Water makes up around 60% of the human body. More than half of this water is inside the cells that make up organs and tissues, and much of the remaining water flows in the spaces between cells. MIT ...

Scientists have traced the development of a mouse embryo from its first two cells to the formation of organs, using a ...

Diverse primary cell resources covering 14 major research fields to advance feline disease studies, pathogen research ...

A new study from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research shows that cell division actively reshapes epithelial tissue, ...
