Using their novel FRESH 3D bioprinting technique, which allows for printing of soft living cells and tissues, a lab has built a tissue model entirely out of collagen.

Using their novel Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels (FRESH) 3D bioprinting technique, which allows for the ...

Engineers have fabricated a metamaterial that is not only strong but also stretchy. Their new method could enable stretchable ceramics, glass, and metals, for tear-proof textiles or stretchy ...

One of the challenges of fighting pancreatic cancer is finding ways to penetrate the organ's dense tissue to define the margins between malignant and normal tissue.

From soft actuators that mimic real muscle to DNA drives that can store petabytes in a sugar cube, humanity is engineering ...

This important work presents a stochastic branching process model of tumour-immune coevolution, incorporating stochastic antigenic mutation accumulation and escape within the cancer cell population.

A team of researchers has successfully created more effective immune cells that can fight cancer without damaging healthy ...

Are genes distributed randomly along the bacterial chromosome, as if scattered from a salt shaker? This opinion, which is ...

which help us to better understand cells, genetics, evolution and the interaction of many living systems. Synthetic biology, a rapidly growing area of science, aims to take it all to another level, ...

Synthetic biology (SynBio) is a multidisciplinary area of research that seeks to create new biological parts, devices, and systems, or to redesign systems that are already found in nature.
