To facilitate nerve regrowth, tissue engineers employ biodegradable polymer scaffolds. Shown at left, a micrograph of an actual scaffold used to stimulate spinal cord regeneration in rats. Center, a ...

The study shows that fat tissue, when processed and cultured in a specific way, can self-organize into structures resembling ...

Light is quietly becoming the new language of brain technology. Instead of thick wires and skull-penetrating electrodes, a ...

What are Tissue Engineering Scaffolds? Tissue engineering scaffolds are three-dimensional structures designed to support cell growth, migration, and differentiation for the regeneration of damaged or ...

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

A startup based on research conducted at Penn State is developing a soft, minimally invasive neural implant intended to ...

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 ...
