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 ...

This article is based on a poster originally authored by D. Cole and N. Bevan. 3D models, including spheroids and organoids, are increasingly used to investigate disease and development. Developing, ...

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 ...

Researchers translated experimental data into Minecraft files to recreate 3D images in a more accessible setting. My group studies the minimum requirements for cells to live. As part of one project, ...

Organoid screening platforms are transforming drug discovery by providing physiologically relevant 3D models that improve ...

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 ...

Tick-borne encephalitis virus, known as TBEV, hijacks the internal membrane machinery of host cells to build hidden factories ...

Microscale 3D printed arches guide cells to form natural self-bonds, improving how soft tissue attaches to medical implants without added proteins. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Efforts to engineer reliable ...

The liver has a unique structure, especially at the level of individual cells. Hepatocytes, the main liver cells, release bile into tiny channels called bile canaliculi, which drain into the bile duct ...
