In this episode, they describe the process of ventilation and gas exchange and the bodily adaptations that support these processes.

This video explains how mechanical and chemical digestion break food down and how the small intestine’s adaptations increase surface area to speed up absorption into the bloodstream.

Artificial cells created in the laboratory offer a wide range of potential applications. Until now, however, their membranes - unlike those of real cells - have been virtually impermeable. Researchers ...

While much is mysterious about the aging process, change over time remains its cornerstone. The biological shifts that accompany aging seemingly occur in many cells in the body. The problem is, we ...

An international research team has discovered a new type of skeletal tissue that offers great potential for advancing regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. An international research team led ...

The process consists of multiple overlapping steps, including blood flow, diffusion of oxygen, chemical reactions inside cells, and oxygen uptake by tissues. As these processes occur simultaneously ...

Oregon Health & Science University is getting a major boost in its effort to better understand and eventually treat some of the most aggressive cancers with $6 million to research “organs-on-chips” – ...

Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) materials are widely reported to present tissue-specific biochemical cues that influence cell behavior; here, we use porcine uterine dECM as a representative ...

Abstract: Segmentation of brain structures from MRI is crucial for evaluating brain morphology, yet existing CNN and transformer-based methods struggle to delineate complex structures accurately.

Scientists have uncovered a powerful genetic switch that helps some of the body’s most important immune cells grow up properly and keep our organs healthy. The switch, called MafB, guides immature ...

At first glance, it might not seem like people have much in common with deer. But a strange discovery about how their antlers regenerate is lifting the lid on the unseen ways that our bodies work, too ...

Understanding how living tissues function over time is essential for studying disease mechanisms, evaluating drug responses, and developing advanced in vitro models. Researchers have now developed a ...
