Nature has consistently inspired engineering applications. Recently, a group of researchers drew new inspirations from the vascular network and developed a new type of fluidic system named VasFluidics ...

CD BioSciences, a US-based biotechnology company focusing on the development of imaging technologies, is pleased to announce the launch of its new line of Circulatory System Tissue Microarrays to the ...

The vascular system is the body’s essential infrastructure for regeneration—delivering oxygen, nutrients, and signaling cues that coordinate tissue repair. Over time, however, this regenerative ...

Khosla Ventures leads Series A investment in human tissue engineering company Prellis, backing Prellis' mission to create viable human tissue and organs for research and transplant San Francisco, ...

The formation of new blood vessels, or angiogenesis, is an Achilles’ heel of tumor growth, because tumors depend on the supply of oxygen and nutrients for survival. Therefore, for some years now ...

On the surface, plants and animals couldn't be more different. However, as researchers at Worcester Polytechnic University (WPU) have discovered, they also share surprising similarities in their ...

Using lab-created tissue to heal or replace damaged organs is one of the great visions for the future of medicine. Synthetic materials could be suitable as scaffolding for tissue because, unlike ...

The vascular tissue of higher plants consists of specialized cells that differ from all other cells with respect to their shape and size, their organellar composition, their extracellular matrix, the ...

Researchers have developed a hollow fiber bioreactor that mimics a circulatory system, overcoming challenges in tissue thickness and nutrient delivery. This breakthrough enables the scalable ...
