Liver failure is one of the most serious and deadly medical conditions, claiming thousands of lives each year as patients in the United States wait for a donor organ. An up to $25.8 million research ...

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 ...

Cells, the fundamental units of living organisms including humans and plants, are pivotal subjects in biological research. Understanding their behavior, tissue organization, and implications in ...

The three-dimensional (3D) genome folding, along with epigenomic states, plays a key role in shaping genome functions, including transcription 1,2,3. However, much of the existing knowledge has been ...

Shaochen Chen, professor in the Aiiso Yufeng Li Family Department of Chemical and Nano Engineering at UC San Diego, stands between an early laboratory prototype of a bioprinter developed in his ...

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 ...

Research and drug discovery are undergoing a transformation, driven by the rise of 3D cell culture models that better replicate human biology. Unlike traditional 2D cultures and animal models, which ...

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 ...
