After serious injuries, burns, fractures, or major surgeries, the body normally repairs damaged tissues and restores movement. However, in some patients, the healing process takes an unexpected and ...

A new study shows that engineered, cell-free cartilage can safely support bone regeneration without provoking immune ...

T cells experience different mechanical signals in different tissues. Researchers have engineered a tissue-mimicking hydrogel model to show that more elastic tissues induce T cells to become ...

Explore the vital role of bone marrow stem cells. Learn how they drive bone remodeling, immunity, and skeletal health in this complete guide.

The findings are reported in Nature Biomedical Engineering. Mechanical resistance comes in the form of "stiffness," a tissue's (or any material's) resistance to instantaneous deformation, and ...

The promise of adoptive T-cell therapies—immunotherapy in which T cells are collected from a patient, enhanced, and reinfused—is growing, especially against blood cancers. However, a better ...

Vertebrate skeletal tissues exhibit remarkable diversity in both their mechanical properties and evolutionary adaptations. These tissues are finely tuned composite materials where a combination of ...

(Boston) — The successful campaign of adoptive T cell therapies, a type of immunotherapy in which immune T cells are collected from a patient, enhanced outside of the body, and reinfused back into the ...
