UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a 3D bio-printed model that closely mimics the complexity of natural lung tissue, an ...

Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with their environment. Maintaining their functionality requires dynamic ...

Tissue valves can be implanted surgically, just like mechanical valves, where the old valve is removed and the new prosthesis is sewn in its place.

To construct new tissue or maintain it in adulthood, cells have to be able to respond to mechanical and molecular cues from their environment and inform decisions like whether to become a nerve or ...

Mechanical tissue resuscitation technology shows promise preventing cell death Date: April 16, 2012 Source: Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center Summary: Researchers seeking a successful treatment ...

Spatial, temporal and mechanical cues control gene expression and protein activity that regulate force production and mechanical tissue responses in embryos. It is not well understood how ...

Gastrointestinal Tissue Mechanics Project Focus Our research in GI tissue mechanics has focused on characterizing the mechanical tissue properties of the GI tract and modeling how robotic capsule ...

The findings advanced the field of tissue engineering as researchers used these mechanical cues to create synthetic scaffolds to coax stem cells to develop into desired outcomes.

The fascial system builds a three-dimensional continuum of soft, collagen-containing, loose and dense fibrous connective tissue that permeates the body and enables all body systems to operate in an ...

LOS ANGELES -- Survival outcomes favored mechanical valves for isolated surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for people until age 60, after which a tissue valve may start to have an advantage ...

A team of researchers at UBC Okanagan has created a 3D-printed model of living lung tissue that closely mimics the real thing. This breakthrough could help scientists better understand lung diseases ...
