In this Opinion article, we discuss the function of tissues as a crucial checkpoint for the regulation of effector T cell responses, and the notion that interleukin-15 (IL-15) functions as a danger ...

Scientists have developed a synthetic tissue that repairs injuries and restores normal erectile function in a pig model, in a study publishing January 4 in the journal Matter. The findings suggest ...

Tissue and cell-type identity lie at the core of human physiology and disease. Understanding the genetic underpinnings of complex tissues and individual cell lineages is crucial for developing ...

The body's tissues can get injured in many ways, but while some injuries heal perfectly, others don't heal at all. A cut in the skin, for example, usually heals all on its own, while internal organs, ...

The use of ciprofloxacin and other antibiotics of the class of fluoroquinolones may be associated with disruption of the normal functions of connective tissue, including tendon rupture, tendonitis and ...

Our genomes help to determine who we are — the countless variations between individuals that encode the complexity of tissues and functions throughout the body. Since scientists first decoded a draft ...

Organoids are fast-becoming one of the most cutting-edge tools of modern life sciences. The idea is to use stem cells to build miniature tissues and organs that accurately resemble and behave like ...

Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial hand that can grip and make gestures. The breakthrough shows the way forward ...

Researchers have developed a tiny nanolaser that can function inside of living tissues without harming them. Researchers have developed a tiny nanolaser that can function inside of living tissues ...
