A biomaterial that can mimic certain behaviors within biological tissues could advance regenerative medicine, disease modeling, soft robotics and more, according to researchers at Penn State.

This research not only enhances our understanding of hair cell regeneration but also provides insights that could be applied to mammalian systems. Another important aspect of hair cell biology is ...

Jan. 23, 2025 — Researchers have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact fertility in male mice. This research could help us understand why some ...

eLife is a non-profit organisation inspired by research funders and led by scientists. Our mission is to help scientists accelerate discovery by operating a platform for research communication that ...

They act as natural buffers, absorbing excess rainfall and preventing floods. They capture and store carbon, slowing down climate change. They also support an astonishing variety of life, serving as ...

Such increase arises from loss of skeletal integrity and is also associated to a reduction of the bone regeneration ... of structural support and movement, the skeleton houses the bone marrow, in ...

the investigators designed and developed an electrically conductive scaffold biomaterial that could better support bladder tissue regeneration than current methods. "It's electroactive and has ...

In this manuscript the authors established a novel three-dimensional culture system for stratified epithelia that allows epithelial cells to undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and ...
