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

When a patient needs a new heart valve, the current mechanical and tissue replacements each have strengths and weaknesses. Now, a team of UBC Okanagan researchers believe they have found a way to ...

Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins ...

A team of scientists at McMaster University in Ontario have created a bio-ink that can 3D print “breathable” lung tissue.

Cell invasion is a mechanical process in which a migrating cell applies forces causing rupturing and deformation of the tissue. Resistance of tissue to invasion is determined by adhesion strength ...

Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial hand that can grip and make gestures. The breakthrough shows the way ...

As brain tumors grow, they must do one of two things: push against the brain or use finger-like extensions to invade and ...

Incisors develop in the womb due to a buildup of mechanical pressure within the tissue, according to an animal study published in Nature Cell Biology. This revelation may lead to a better ...

As these changes occur, the tissue mechanical properties also change. The natural history of AAA is progressive enlargement to a point of mechanical tissue failure, typically followed by death.

In the foregoing work the four woody stems show no increase in mechanical strength or in the amount or kind of mechanical tissue under the influence of longitudinal compression. In young herbaceous ...
