Southwest Research Institute demonstrated its single-use 3D bioreactor to produce induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs), derived from adult skin, blood, and other somatic cells. Useful for ...

We need investment in precision medicine technologies to start programming cancer against itself, writes Cyriac Roeding.

Research by the Stanford University School of Medicine professor revealed how newly formed strings of amino acids fold into complex three-dimensional shapes. Robert “Buzz” Baldwin, Early Expert in ...

‘Tiny biological batteries’ can change the cell membrane’s electrical properties – a discovery that has big implications for health, as many essential cellular processes hinge upon precise electrical ...

The cells in our bodies move in groups during biological processes such as wound healing and tissue development – but because of resistance, or viscosity, those cells can’t just neatly glide past each ...

Researchers have found a way to reprogram disease evolution and design tumors that are easier to treat. They created a modular genetic circuit that turns cancer cells into a 'Trojan horse,' causing ...

For patients with heart failure, blood pumps can be lifesaving. But the very forces that sustain circulation can also harm it, damaging red blood cells through hemolysis and compromising the body's ...

Bioengineering is the fastest-growing segment of engineering and holds the promise of improving the lives of all people in very direct and diverse ways. Bioengineering focuses on the application of ...
