Hydrogels, soft and water-rich materials, have long fascinated researchers because of their potential in medical and ...

Here are five recent innovative bioprinting and bioink studies that are building synthetic biological structures.

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than ...

Biological models are experimental systems that recreate aspects of human tissue function or disease. For example, certain tumour cell lines may serve as cancer models, and transgenic mice that ...

MIT engineers 3D print multidirectional muscle tissue that flexes like the human iris - opening new paths for biohybrid ...

MIT engineers have made a breakthrough in this area—they’ve developed a method to grow muscle tissue that contracts in ...

Biological tissues are made up of different cell types ... unavailable or histological images were missing. In datasets of human breast cancer and zebrafish melanoma, STAIG successfully identified ...

Scaling up biohybrid robots has been difficult due to the weak contractile force of lab-grown muscles, the risk of necrosis ...
