Pillar of support: Breakthrough discovery could speed up bone implant recovery
An international research team led by Monash University has uncovered a new technique that could speed up recovery from bone replacements by altering the shape and nucleus of individual stem cells.
Researchers develop hydrogel to improve spinal cord repair after injury
A hydrogel loaded with drugs to simultaneously regenerate nerve tissues and blood supply shows promise for promoting recovery after spinal cord damage.
A DNA robot that walks on the surface of cells
DNA robots built to transverse fluidic cell membranes and control cell function for future regenerative and cell-based therapies.
Self-organizing human heart organoids in a dish
Biologists have used human pluripotent stem cells to grow sesame-seed-sized heart models, called cardioids, that spontaneously self-organize to develop a hollow chamber without the need of experimental scaffolds.
