A pioneering platform has been developed by scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS), aiming to dramatically reduce the duration required for assessing the effectiveness of cancer drugs. The study, published in Biomaterials utilises bioengineered hydrogels that mimic tissue. This...Read more

A new paper reports an approach to growing tracheas by coaxing cells to form three distinct tissue types after assembling them into a tube structure. The research, led by Eben Alsberg, professor in Biomedical Engineering and Orthopaedic Surgery and director of the Alsberg Stem Cell & Engineered Novel Therapeutics (ASCENT) Lab at Case Western...Read more

Researchers have turned to the vascular system of plants to solve a major bioengineering problem blocking the regeneration of human tissues and organs. In a series of experiments, the researchers cultured beating human heart cells on spinach leaves that were stripped of plant cells. Their work is described in the paper "Crossing kingdoms: Using decelluralised...Read more
