Using a 3D culture system that imitates fatty tissue, researchers developed a simpler process to study mesenchymal stem cell aging and tissue regeneration.

Controlling a growing tissue’s shape achieves deterministic and uniform patterning in intestinal organoids.

Researchers use innovative plant-based biomaterials to grow new bone for restoring depleted bone mass after space travel.

The tissue, grown on a 3-D scaffold and seeded from the kids’ own cells, was transplanted to correct deformities in their cartilage.

Tissue recipients were treated as “guinea pigs,” says investigation leader.

Biomedical engineer Kyle Quinn fends off a frenzied Internet mob after being wrongly identified as a Charlottesville protester.

The material is durable, flexible, and can serve as a scaffold for cell growth, a study shows.

A small patch of engineered cells makes an enzyme that stimulates insulin release.

Tissue “seeds” made up of three cell types and patterned onto a scaffold develop into complex structures with some organ function, researchers show.

Four products have already qualified for the regenerative medicine advanced therapy (RMAT) designation that provides extra interactions with the agency, and sooner.

Researchers create lab-grown mouse skin complete with hair follicles and sweat glands.

Scientists have developed an interlocking cell scaffold for easy building and dismantling of tissues.

A miniature platform with multiple organ-on-a-chip constructs aims to speed up drug discovery—and create better transplants for patients.

Meet the researchers behind ATHENA, the project that aims to create a system of linked model human organs that may revolutionize drug development.
