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 ...

Researchers developed a microfluidic chip with 3D-printed microstructures that moves droplets precisely, captures cells efficiently, and quickly forms cell spheroids for improved lab-grown tissue ...

Advanced 3D cell models recreate the complexity of human tissues, enabling researchers to examine tumor progression, probe neurological disorders, and assess therapeutic candidates. By capturing the ...

We use our lips to talk, eat, drink, and breathe; they signal our emotions, health, and aesthetic beauty. It takes a complex structure to perform so many roles, so lip problems can be hard to repair ...

Traditionally, scientists have used 2D cell cultures as in vitro models in drug screening studies due to their simplicity and scalability. However, 2D cell models do not recapitulate the complexity of ...

Researchers at Texas A&M University model extreme conditions using 3D bioprinting, revealing insights that could make flight and space travel protocols safer while driving new breakthroughs in ...

Using a newly devised, three-dimensional model to study the regeneration of nerve tissue in the nose, researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences ...

Five years ago, scientists watched in wonder as synthetic bacteria grew and split into daughter cells. The bacteria’s extremely stripped-down genome still supported its entire life cycle. It was a ...

LSU Health New Orleans researchers developed 3D digital models from CT scans of COVID-19 patients to visually evaluate the distribution of the infection in patients’ respiratory systems. The research ...

Growing cells in three dimensions is critical for studying how tissues behave in the body, yet most laboratory platforms remain either too simple or too complex to use widely. Researchers now present ...
