Kyle Lampe, an assistant professor of chemical engineering in the University of Virginia’s School of Engineering and Applied Science, is growing cells in three-dimensional hydrogels, an environment closer than petri dishes to how cells grow on their own. He can control the hydrogel’s softness or stiffness, and by raising the cells in a three-dimensional solution, the cells react more closely to how they would in nature

University of Texas at El Paso researchers' work challenges the theory that feeder cells provide nutrients to growing stem cells.

A new device allows perfusion of bioengineered structures built from smaller pieces of tissue prepared in the lab. It is a first step toward someday building whole organs

University of Adelaide mathematicians have devised a method for identifying how cell clusters have formed by analyzing an image of the cluster.

New method could help reconnect injured organs or build functional human tissues

Scientists from the University of Granada, Spain, have generated artificial human skin by tissular engineering basing on agarose-fibrin biomaterial. The artificial skin was grafted onto mice, and optimal development, maturation and functionality results were obtained.
