Every day, your body replaces billions of cells—and yet, your tissues stay perfectly organized. How is that possible? A team of researchers at ChristianaCare's Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research ...

Biomedical engineers from the University of Melbourne have invented a 3D printing system, or bioprinter, capable of fabricating structures that closely mimic the diverse tissues in the human body, ...

Scientists have rediscovered and characterized a remarkable type of body tissue that works much like biological bubble wrap, potentially revolutionizing how we approach facial reconstruction and ...

Our bodies are constantly breaking down. Over time, their built-in repair mechanisms also fail. Knee cartilage grinds away. Hip joints no longer support weight. Treatments for breast cancer and other ...

A new imaging breakthrough combines ultrasound and light-based techniques to generate vivid 3D images that show both tissue structure and blood vessel activity. Developed by researchers at Caltech and ...

Death ends the body’s ability to function as a whole, but it does not kill every cell at the same instant. Research has shown that some human cells remain viable for hours or even days after death, ...

Debates over the presence of microplastics in the human body highlight the challenge of studying something simultaneously invisible to the naked eye and abundant. How do you detect plastic in a human ...
