Connective Tissue: Supports, connects, and separates different types of tissues and organs in the body. It provides structural support, transports nutrients and waste products, and plays a role in ...

UCR scientists create a fully synthetic model for growing brain cells that could allow for animal-free drug testing.

Researchers have created functional brain-like tissue without relying on any animal-derived materials, marking a major step toward more ethical and reproducible neurological research.

From arthritis and heart failure to diabetes and menopause, many conditions are associated with muscle weakness and increased fat deposits. Now a multidisciplinary team of researchers at the ...

The team envisions the results could also inform the design of artificial tissues and organs. For instance, in engineering artificial tissue, scientists might optimize intercellular flow within the ...

The prefrontal cortex region of the human brain is responsible for a range of complex functions from decision-making to certain types of memory. When something goes wrong in this part of the brain, it ...

A group of scientists from Harvard University have observed and reconstructed the human brain at the resolution of the electron microscope, with all its cells, following all the connections between ...

The thyroid cartilage surrounds the thyroid gland in the middle of the throat. Its primary function is to protect and support the vocal cords. It is one of the laryngeal cartilages, which make up the ...

In a new study published in Nature Communications, researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Queen Mary University of London have investigated how the physical structure of fat tissue helps ovarian ...
