How do blood vessels stay strong, flexible, and responsive to the body's changing need for oxygen and nutrients? The answer lies not only in biology—but also in physics. Researchers at Åbo Akademi ...

How different cells organize themselves, within a tissue, to support tissue functions remains poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed an AI-powered algorithm to help understand how cells ...

Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from engineering, biology, and materials science to develop biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue ...

Research has challenged conventional wisdom about belly fat, revealing that regular exercise fundamentally changes how fat tissue functions in the body. Scientists conducted a groundbreaking study ...

In the quest to live forever, scientists have explored all kinds of unusual avenues. Cryopreservation is a popular talking point, but we humans and our delicate cells don’t deal well with freezing.

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...
