Ultrasound is one of the most widely used imaging techniques in medicine, but up until recently it hardly played a role in imaging the tiniest structures of our bodies such as cells. “Clinical ...

A Missouri engineering professor has developed a process to use off-the-shelf 3D printers to make devices that can test medicines and treatments on tissues and cells.

Researchers have resolved a 50-year-old scientific mystery by identifying the molecular mechanism that allows tissues to ...

While medical centers use ultrasound daily, so far this technology is not capable of observing body tissues at the scale of cells. Physicists from TU Delft have developed a microscopy technique based ...

Scientists have long known that people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, have lower rates of diabetes than people living closer to sea level. But the mechanism of this protection ...

Engineers at the University of Pittsburgh are working to develop 3D-printed organic tissue models that mimic the behavior of living organs. Online cover of Science Advances, April issue. A ...

Recent studies have uncovered a fascinating link between dark chocolate consumption and stem cell activation. Dark chocolate with a cocoa content of over 70 percent has been shown to activate stem ...

There are different theories of aging, and scientists have found various ways to measure biological age. Mutations that happen in DNA as a result of exposure to various environmental factors, such as ...
