The challenges of connecting molecular changes to tissue structure and highlights the potential of multifractal frameworks to quantify complex biological patterns ...

Our immune system relies on T cells to fight infections. But T cells don't just show up and react—first, they train, get a game plan, and coordinate their defenses in lymphoid organs. Researchers have ...

A Medical University of South Carolina team reports in Frontiers in Immunology that it has engineered a new type of genetically modified immune cell that can precisely target and neutralize ...

Before you ever set foot on a spacecraft bound for deep space, tiny replicas of your organs might make the journey first. Suspended in microgravity aboard a research mission, this organ-on-a-chip, or ...

A team of researchers from Columbia Engineering and Columbia University Irving Medical Center has developed a multi-organ chip consisting of engineered human heart, bone, liver, and skin that are ...

Two papers recently published in Nature Communications signal a landmark in the development of more complex and representative organoid systems. The papers come as the result of a collaboration ...

Scientists have revived light-sensing neuron cells in organ donor eyes and restored communication between them as part of a series of discoveries that stand to transform brain and vision research.

Call it cellular life support for dead pigs. A complex web of pumps, sensors and artificial fluid can move oxygen, nutrients and drugs into pigs’ bodies, preserving cells in organs that would ...
