In this study, we present a method for assembling biofunctionalized paper into a multiform structured scaffold system for reliable tissue regeneration using an ...

Re-engineering force-regulating proteins inside cells to control their behavior with specific wavelengths of light. Side view of a small group of optogenetically activated cells forming a furrow ...

Origami — the art of making various shapes from a single piece of paper — has been realized at the nanoscale using DNA. Sheets of ‘DNA wireframe paper’ have been developed that, through folding along ...

Tissue engineering – the field of biomaterials research and development that combines living cells with 3D scaffolds and biologically active molecules to grow fully functional tissues – has made ...

Many surgeries today are performed via minimally invasive procedures, in which a small incision is made and miniature cameras and surgical tools are threaded through the body to remove tumors and ...

It then protects the biological tissue and holds it together while the injury heals, eventually harmlessly biodegrading. Each patch has a paper-like consistency before entering the body, and is made ...

The complex 3D shapes of brains, lungs, eyes, hands, and other vital bodily structures emerge from the way in which flat 2D sheets of cells fold during embryonic development. Now, researchers at ...
