In a scientific first, Harvard Stem Cell Institute scientists have successfully grown the cells that line the blood vessels—called vascular endothelial cells—from human induced pluripotent...
On August 20, JoVE, the Journal of Visualized Experiments will publish a technique from the Capadona Lab at Case Western Reserve University to accommodate two...
By analysing MRI images of the brain with an elegant mathematical model, it is possible to reconstruct thoughts more accurately than ever before. In this...
Researchers at the University of Georgia are developing a new treatment technique that uses nanoparticles to reprogram immune cells so they are able to recognize...
Researchers at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) have developed a simple method of organizing cells and their microenvironments in hydrogel fibers. Their unique...
Limited availability of fossil fuels stimulates the search for different energy resources. The use of biofuels is one of the alternatives. Sugars derived from the...
A Colorado teenager has used 3D printing to create a robotic prosthetic arm that costs less than $500 and is fully functional. At TedxMileHigh in...
Researchers have provided the first comprehensive compendium of mutational processes that drive tumour development. Together, these mutational processes explain most mutations found in 30 of...
Not all bioengineers who are using printers in the lab are trying to create tissues or organs. Some are intent on making biological machines. In...
Called a molecular network diverter, this new switch combines existing biological techniques into a meta-tool that can sense and modulate the signals that regulate the...
Tough, bioengineered peptide is a major advance in brain tumor imaging that could enable more precise surgical removal.In a breakthrough that could have wide-ranging applications...
Winners awarded for diagnostics, therapeutics, and technologies for underserved populations. Three teams were announced as winners in the Design by Biomedical Undergraduate Teams (DEBUT) challenge,...
Rice University researchers adapted a computer algorithm to find the parts of two distantly related adeno-associated viruses that could be recombined into new and useful...
Plants could soon have robotic counterparts. Barbara Mazzolai from the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa and colleagues are creating a system that mimics the...
Nearly all the plastics sold today come from petroleum and aren’t biodegradable. But researchers at Metabolix in Cambridge, Massachusetts, are bioengineering switchgrass to produce a...
