Explore the role of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in prostate cancer progression and discover natural therapies, including ...

Aberrant expressions of matrix proteins by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) alter the mechanical properties of the tumor extracellular matrix (ECM). This results in increased ECM desmoplasia and ...

Biological scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how the dengue virus uses its envelope ...

Such data somewhat support the aforementioned hypothesis. Meanwhile, our understanding of the extracellular matrix (ECM) has changed considerably over the last decade. A lot of studies have bit by bit ...

A biomaterial that can mimic certain behaviors within biological tissues could advance regenerative medicine, disease ...

TU Delft researchers 3D print ‘brain-like environment’ - mimicking the soft neural tissue and the brain's extracellular matrix fibers.

We found that these Thbs4-positive astrocytes modulate the dense extracellular matrix at the lesion border by both synthesizing and degrading hyaluronan. We also show that while the accumulation of ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

The 3D-printed brain-like model from TU Delft promotes structured neuronal networks, offering a new tool for investigating ...

Fibroblasts are the most common cell type in connective tissue. They can be compared to 'nature's stitches', holding together ...
