From chemical building blocks, scientists have created synthetic cells that have most of the hallmarks of life.

Researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso have developed a way to 3D-print an essential battery component in nearly ...

UCLA researchers have developed a 3D-printed zinc-ion hybrid battery that stores 7 times more charge for cheaper grid energy ...

Storing solar and wind energy to meet the increasing power needs of the electrical grid calls for devices that can deliver ...

CAR T-cell therapy, when someone’s immune cells are genetically engineered to kill cancer cells, is highly effective for treating certain types of cancer, but it is too expensive to be widely ...

The body’s “killer” T cells don’t just attack—they strike with astonishing precision, forming a tiny, highly organized contact zone that lets them destroy dangerous cells without harming their ...

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are the body's specialized "killer" cells, precisely eliminating infected or cancerous cells. Their action relies on a specialized exchange zone called the "immune synapse," ...

In conventional pathology and physiology research, two-dimensional (2D) analysis—observing thinly sliced tissue sections—has been mainstream, making it difficult to comprehensively understand the ...

Never-before-seen 3D reconstructions of human liver tissue have been created at a cellular level. The details obtained by a team of UW Medicine and University of Washington engineers and physicians ...

Most cells in the human body exist in complex three-dimensional environments, yet they are still commonly studied on flat plastic dishes. These two-dimensional cultures distort cell behavior, limiting ...

Researchers developed a microfluidic chip with 3D-printed microstructures that moves droplets precisely, captures cells efficiently, and quickly forms cell spheroids for improved lab-grown tissue ...

Growing cells in three dimensions is critical for studying how tissues behave in the body, yet most laboratory platforms remain either too simple or too complex to use widely. Researchers now present ...
