Most cells in the human body exist in complex three-dimensional environments, yet they are still commonly studied on flat plastic dishes. These two-dimensional cultures distort cell behavior, limiting ...

Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...

Scientists have crossed a startling new frontier in bioengineering: they can now fabricate intricate three-dimensional objects inside living cells. Instead of sculpting tissue from the outside, they ...

We’ve come a long way from the Vacanti mouse. Back in the mid-90s, Charles Vacanti and other researchers experimented with cartilage regeneration and, with the help of a biodegradable mold and bovine ...
