Researchers did lab experiments and tested real plants, like corn, to see how the plastics entered the leaves. They found that the tiny plastic particles float in the air, land on the leaves, and ...

Growing cells in the laboratory is an art that humans have mastered decades ago. Recreating entire three-dimensional tissues is much more challenging. Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based ...

Medical researchers will use cutting-edge technology to 'print' cancer cells and test treatments on them rather than patients following a $2 million grant.

The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It makes up about 15% of our body weight and protects us from pathogens, ...

From a cubic millimeter of brain tissue, scientists have constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, detailing 84,000 neurons and more than 500 million synapses.

Researchers from Rutgers Health and RWJBarnabas Health have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) technology that transforms basic electrocardiogram (ECG) readings of electrical activity into ...

From bioengineered implants and AI-guided injectables to scarless surgery and gene editing, here’s what cosmetic work will ...

As an HIV researcher for many years, I want to address Dr. Neal Barnard’s dismissive claims in his op-ed in The ...

Now, MIT engineers have taken a major step toward developing robots that replace rigid gears with something much softer – almost like real, living muscle tissue. In other words, they have found a way ...

A conveyor belt transports a whole frozen tuna fish, about a meter (3 feet) in size, into a machine that beams ultrasound ...

“When she was there doing her research, she found how costly it was to get actual [cancer] tissue samples and how inconsistent… all the other lab-like testing platforms were, so she thought, ‘You know ...

FROM THE GYMS of pro bodybuilders to the training room of Olympic marathoner Galen Rupp to Mark Wahlberg’s 4 a.m. Club, there ...
