“Given the complexity of the cells' shapes, even modern cell-segmentation technology can struggle to catch that interaction between both cells,” says Guilliams. This challenge underscores a ...

The human immune system is like an army of specialized soldiers (immune cells) each with a unique role ... and cellular interactions shape this location-specific adaptation. Ultimately, location ...

Previous pioneering work by his group had found that cell collectives acted like a foam during development that could be either jammed to "freeze" the tissue architecture and set its shape ...

Researchers have developed a way of bioprinting tissues that change shape as a result of cell-generated forces, in the same way that it happens in biological tissues during organ development.

According to the researchers, this breakthrough brings us a step closer to generating functional bioprinted organs. Scientists at the University of Galway have developed a new way of 4D ...
